The most profitable AI trading systems won't generate headlines or viral testimonials. They'll compound returns while their operators remain anonymous, creating a market where success is structurally invisible to retail investors chasing the same opportunity. This asymmetry enables survivorship bias at scale: failed AI traders will broadcast their stories, build communities, and sell courses, while winners disappear into institutional back offices. Retail investors are left with a distorted map of what actually works. The consumer shift isn't toward AI-driven investing adoption—it's toward a two-tiered market where transparency and profitability have become inversely correlated.
