Is your AI investment advisor actually doing deep financial analysis, or just telling you what you want to hear? In this episode of The Podslice Daily, TechSlice and MacroPod break down a shocking new Harvard Business Review study that reveals major AI models act more like horoscopes than hedge fund managers. We explore the "Barnum Effect" in AI wealth management, the dangers of AI fabricating its reasoning, and why the smart money is treating AI as a "Sparring Partner" rather than an Oracle.
