FYI: Your next financial adviser might be a centaur — not half-human, half-horse, but half-human, half-machine.

  • Mark me as a 'disagree' with M. Zweig.

    I won't be authorizing a brokerage's software program to read my emails or poring over my checkbook to come up with recommendations. And yes Jason, it IS creepy!

    The NSA does this already, without our permission. Are we better off?
  • The title sounds like a pretty hilarious marketing slogan for robo-advisers. Bettermint: It's Not Creepy, It's the Future! Yes, it most certainly is creepy. It also seems like an excuse to maintain the rolls at financial advisory firms and continue to charge higher fees. These planners are not going to let themselves be Ubered out of a job.
