Yes, AIs have obsoleted human forecasters
No, human forecasters not obsoleted yet

Those on team Yes: Do you anticipate massive changes in geopolitical power balances this year? (I don't think these are necessarily linked, but they might be)

I can't say I love this new trend of taking dumb tweets and making markets about them.

@pietrokc How else can a civilization know collectively which tweets it believes to be dumb?

No, but it's very useful as a tool used by humans. Good analytics often involves ML (custom predictive models, not asking chatGPT), but it requires tuning the model, comparing it to expert opinions and fixing it when it spews nonsense.
