To clarify my own understanding, this perspective is reinforced by the concept of information asymmetry. While AI excels at analyzing structured data, human entrepreneurs and investors can leverage unique insights and navigate situations where information is scarce, ambiguous, or held privately.
These are precisely the conditions often found in low-probability, high-potential ventures that lie outside the reach of current AI models.
I'm curious which investors will leverage this strength of humans in this scenario.
Great point - extending it further - will the most valuable people in business be those whose perspective and knowledge are "weird?" Being one of the top grads from a top school may not actually be that valuable if the programs in those schools make everyone look at problems and opportunities the same way. Perhaps being an ex-musician who learned business from a bible salesman will stop shift from being a red flag to a green flag in business?
Will investors need to spend even more time vetting the team and less on the tangibles than today? If so then I think the seed stage investors (or those who have built consistent success there) are likely to be the first to recognize and capitalize on this shift since they already base their bets more frequently on founders and weirdness.
I like the concept of weird.

Maybe this is the opportunity to redefine 'WEIRD'. Why not? W - Worldly, E - Experimental, I - Improvisational, R - Resourceful, D - Daring.
With all of this technology, maybe these are the qualities that makes humans humans.
With that definition, I would be proud to say I'm 'WEIRD'.
