Who needs a crystal ball when you've got AI sifting through every whisper and pixel, making sure no digital rogue is trying to pull a fast one? It's less "bulls and bears" and more "bots and bytes" now, and frankly, it makes you wonder if the chaiwala misses the good old days of market-moving gossip.
