What makes you think that AI cannot become significantly better than humans at "understanding" and modelling the world? If the AI is always more likely to be right than you or me due to being able to take more variables/knowledge into account by default, then why ever listen to a human, or even to yourself when it comes to an economic decision?
My honest and rather pessimistic take is that in the long-term any craft that purely lives in the abstract is likely to be doomed.
