Why do traders feel overwhelmed by AI hype and what basics should they focus on?
Everywhere you look right now, AI is at the forefront. It's in our news feeds, every video that we come across, and we cannot escape it. But just how much do we need to know about this arena as traders? For many traders, we feel flooded by all of the complexity around this topic. So in this week's episode of Talking Trading, I interview Tracy Sheen, the author of AI and You, Reimagine Your Business. She's an award-winning author and introduced to me through my editor, Michael Hanrahan. So quick shout out to Michael. Tracy and I unpack exactly what traders need to know about AI and what you can happily ignore. We talk about AI literacy and why some people resist technology while others forge ahead.
And this is important. You'll also hear Tracy's tips for a tech-enabled lifestyle, that freedom that we all want to travel, to trade, and to be exactly who we know at our core we are, a trader. You are going to love her thoughts on this. So if you've ever felt lost in the AI jungle of jargon, this is going to put your mind at ease. I'm Louise Bedford, The Money Chick, and this is Talking Trading, your weekly podcast for the trader who wants clear systems, an exceptional lifestyle, and financial serenity. Help me welcome Tracy Sheen. Tracy Sheen, welcome to Talking Trading. So some of the things that I find my traders tend to dwell on is how can AI improve their performance? A lot of them are already doing so well with the markets.
They've already got their trading plan written. They've got their life designed around trading. But I find with AI, it can help them delve into areas that they hadn't considered and maybe even add to their performance improvement. And that is the part that I think they really like to focus on. So how much is hype and how much is genuinely useful?
I think it's like any industry, Louise. There's hype in every industry. And as you said, your amazing traders that listen to your show and are already doing really well, they can sniff out the hype, right? And if they can do that, they can do that with AI. And you know who are exceptionally good at sniffing out the BS or the hype or the trendy overtrends? women women just see through the smoke and mirrors so quickly that they are absolutely on the front foot to just take this stuff and run with it because a lot of it is is kind of very similar thinking to what they have day to day anyway it's that you know pattern recognition it's not prediction it's still the understanding that they need to avoid the snake oil so a lot of the
the skill sets that traders have are so easily replicatable, that mindset's already there to apply it to the AI.
And I like that because where AI is being used in our industry, Tracy, from a nefarious point of view, is the scam world. So there's a revolting term called pig butchering. Now, what they do... I know, it's filthy, isn't it? But this is genuinely done using AI in our industry. So they detect people who want to get ahead in life and then they befriend them on social media or they even take them from a Facebook group. And what they do is they become a lovely, caring companion. They say that I'm the same as you. I like what you're doing. So let's become friends and explore it together. And there are AI tools that are delving into this area about how can they sound more human with this. And then once they've got you, then they use that trust to lead you into an area saying, well, I'm investing in this thing.
So should you. I'm investing in crypto. I'm using this group.
How can traders spot genuine AI tools versus hype‑filled scams like ‘pig‑butchering’?
They're fantastic. But they look like humans. So that's where I think some of the difficulties lie because there is such potential for profit in our industry of trading, but AI can sometimes foul you up because it looks like you're talking with a human. What would your advice be to somebody to, I guess, be wary about the AI phenomenon?
Well, I mean, the first thing that comes to my mind is learn all the tricks. Learn all the tricks that they're doing and then use it against them.
And some of those hints and tips would be if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
