I think the answer is probably both.
AI definitely lowers barriers by making data and analysis easier to access. A lot of tasks that used to require experience or expensive tools can now be automated in seconds.
But it also adds its own kind of complexity. You still have to interpret what the AI is telling you, understand where its limits are, and figure out how to act when multiple signals conflict. Half the battle becomes decision making, not information gathering.
That’s why structure and usability matter more now.
I’ve seen some early mentions of a system called mota that’s supposedly aiming to organize insights rather than just pump out more signals. No idea how far along it is, but the concept tracks with where things seem to be heading.
If AI is going to make trading more accessible, it probably needs to simplify decisions, not just generate more data.
