Yes; what we now see are the HFT realm where only algorithms can compete; and the realm 6-12 orders of magnitude or so slower where human+tool AI symbiotes still dominate. Of course, HFT is over half of equity trading volume these days, and seems to be still growing—both in absolute numbers, and as a proportion of total trading. I’d guess that human+tool AI’s scope of dominance is shrinking.

ooh. HFT gives a great deal of perspective on my comment on QA->tool->daemon—HFT is daemon-level programs achieving results many consider unFriendly.
