SHOCKING: An interview with barcharts ai market analyst carl - You Need To See This

• Like most industries, market analysis is turning to artificial intelligence, or AI, meaning folks like me will soon go the way of the dinosaur.

• I recently sat down with CARL, Barchart's new AI market analyst and ask it a number of familiar questions.

• In my mind, the conversation was eerily similar to exchanges between Dave Bowman and HAL in the 1968 movie “2001: A Space Odyssey”.

I’ve held the title of “Senior Analyst” for a couple decades now, albeit for different companies. In the early days the emphasis was on the word “Analyst”. These days, though, most introductions stop with the word “Senior”. Over the years, I’ve been interviewed countless times by a wide variety of sources. Recently, and most often at the annual Barchart Grain Merchandising and Technology conferences, I’ve been on the other side of the microphone emceeing panel discussions^[i] with other analysts answering the questions. It’s with this in mind that I spent Tuesday afternoon interviewing Barchart’s new Artificial Intelligence (AI) Market Analyst CARL. And yes, I’m senior enough, that as I went through this interview, in my mind CARL’s voice was the same as HAL from the 1968 movie “2001: A Space Odyssey”. What follows is the transcript of our conversation, with editorial asides from me in parenthesis.
