Pretend for a moment that capital investors do any work. Can AI replace that work?

  I'm sorry Dave. I can't answer that.

The investment bankers I know worked harder than any software developer to get where they are.

And yet have produced nothing of value for society.

In theory they efficiently allocate capital and resources to drive increased standards of living. In theory.

In theory.

Capitalists serve a useful function according to capitalist theory.

Funny how that happens.

I'm sure parasites work very hard to survive.

They do a lot of work but a lot of market research can be automated too.
