Do trading bots count?



No, the AI would have to start from zero and reason it's way to making itself money online, such as the humans who were first in their online field of interest (e-commerce, scams, ads etc from the 80's and 90's) when there was no guidance, only general human intelligence that could reason their way into money making opportunities and reason their way into making it work.


I don't think humans ever do that. They research/read and ask other humans.


Which AI already has stored in spades, even more so since people in the 80's 90's weren't working with the information available today. The AI is free to research and read all the information stored from other humans as well, just like the humans who reasoned their way into money making opportunities--only with vastly more information now, talk about an advantage. But is it intelligent enough do so without a human giving direct/step-by-step instructions; the way humans figure it out?
