When I was a kid, my father and I loved watching sci-fi movies together. Stories about sentient AI like Terminator, The Matrix, and Ex Machina captured my imagination and made me wonder about the future of our world. Could AI advance to a point where it posed a threat to humanity?
As I grew older and became more tech-savvy, the ominous reality of AI outpacing humans seemed more far-fetched. Most people I knew laughed at the idea. The first AI art to hit the mainstream seemed to confirm this skepticism. Early images produced by software like Midjourney made headlines for their lack of quality, suggesting AI could never compete with human skill and imagination, at least in the arts.
However, AI has undergone rapid evolution. It now crafts beautiful masterpieces in mere seconds—works that would take weeks or months for a human artist to create. A testament to this progress can be seen in the faces of Lendal’s TSKs (Transferable Software Keys). With careful fine-tuning of the prompts fed to the AI, we’ve managed to generate lifelike artworks that seemed unattainable just a few years prior. These beautiful creations symbolize how an AI-driven future may be far closer than many believe.
Advancements in AI art have captured the attention of social media and sparked both excitement and fear about how AI may shape our lives in other areas. You may have seen headlines that portray AI as a “black hole” set to consume countless jobs, leaving many middle class workers unemployed and broke. This dystopian reality has yet to materialize, but we can be certain that AI will continue to impact human life in unexpected ways, for better or worse.
As the tech has developed, those looking to future-proof their finances have harnessed the power of AI for trading and investment. AI is being used to fine-tune trading strategies and manage investment portfolios across stocks and crypto, ensuring best performance. This strategic shift among retail investors hasn’t occurred in a vacuum; it’s a calculated response to the rising tide of AI adoption among institutional investors. Many retail players have come to the sobering reality that they are in the crosshairs of institutional predators armed with superior, AI-driven tools. In this scenario, the nightmare isn’t a terrifying portrait of the AI apocalypse from a Terminator movie. Instead, it’s a silent, relentless assault on retail traders’ finances; a covert war where money is the contested territory and AI trading tools are the weapons of choice.
While massive hedge funds have been waging war, they might have overlooked the strength retail investors bring to the market through their sheer numbers. The GameStop movement, a testament to this power, united retail investors in an “apes strong together” moment, which institutions mocked and laughed at —until it worked. No one, not even the AI that large hedge funds were using, predicted the eventual outcome because it had never happened before. It was a new battleground. This scenario may be set to repeat as retail traders arm themselves with sophisticated AI trading tools for the first time, and prepare to fight back.
Imagine channeling the power of like-minded individuals into something even more potent, with an AI tool accessible and affordable for retail investors, yet powerful enough to compete against big money. When Jeremy Wilson – CEO of Lendal pro Technologies – presented this exact vision to me, it sounded crazy. But his undeniable ambition and commitment to creating something that could help regular people realize financial freedom was compelling. I couldn’t help but stand with him in assembling a dream team dedicated to bringing this vision of AI-driven retail trading to fruition. Read here about algorithmic trading.
Over the last year and half, just like AI art in it’s infancy, we constantly improvised, adapted, and overcame. Wilson would say, “Experiment. Learn. Pivot.” Now, we are rapidly approaching the launch of our first fully-automated AI trading solution – Lendal Copy. Finally, retail traders will have access to institutional-grade tools that compete against the predatory billion-dollar hedge funds. Lendal Copy has the potential to level the playing field in the entire investment space, one retail trader at a time. And I, for one, am all in.
