Myth: "AI Bots are a Guaranteed Money Printer." Reality: In 2026, everyone has access to a bot. If a strategy is public, its "Alpha" (profit edge) is already gone because thousands of bots are competing for the same trade. A bot is just a tool for execution, not a substitute for a strategy.

If your AI isn't better than the institutional bots at BlackRock, it's not a money printer; it's a high-speed way to drain your wallet.
