Imagine you had a crystal ball that lets you look 10 years into the future, and you asked it about whether we underestimate or overestimate how many jobs AI will replace in the future.

It flickers for a moment, then it either says

"In 2025, mankind vastly underestimated the amount of jobs AI can do in 2035"

"In 2025, mankind vastly overestimated the amount of jobs AI can do in 2035"

How would you use that information to invest in the stock market?

If I had a crystal ball that lets me look 10 years into the future and I wanted to invest in the stock market, I would ask it about the stock market.

I'm already assuming the first answer but nonetheless have absolutely no idea how I would use that to make a guess about the stock market.

So it's index funds (as always) with me anyway.

In that hypothetical case, you’d invest in the robot industry and security. The poor would try to eat the rich, right?

Heads or tails, then proceed accordingly. You won't waste any more time analyzing it in hopes of getting it right.

Ah, so a straddle.
