Summary
The post criticizes the use of AI for investment analysis, citing hallucinations, basic math errors, and inability to evaluate moats or think critically.
Author notes that most posts on r/ValueInvesting are not true value investing but growth-at-any-price, and that AI tends to be a "yes-sayer" that confirms biases.
This is not a research piece but a general opinion/rant with no specific data or financial analysis; quality is low (noise).

Imo this needs to be addressed with an abundance on AI slob.
It hallucinates, it fails at basic tasks, it creates a narrative on assumptions.
I have played around with it quite a bit - and honestly - its almost useless.
Even kids are using AI for a synonym for trash. I am well aware this is not valueinvesting - but also 95% of the posts here are not - its more like a growth at any price forum.
Ever pulled data using AI only to double check it messed up the abbreviations? I have.
Ever had it miss the latest annual report when making conclusions? I have.
Ever had it create an obviously wrong narrative? I have.
Ever had AI fail at basic math? I have.
AI are yes sayers; if you present a bull thesis it will in many cases agree. I have prompted mine to disagree/evaluate both sides - but often I notice it will disagree with things that are obviously true. It does not think - It cannot evaluate moats. It reads a TAM and it assumes its true - it does not think.
