AI Didn't Make You Rich — Your Merit Chose AI as Its Conduit

A person with merit-seeds uses AI → AI becomes a conduit for their merit → looks like AI made them rich. A person without merit-seeds uses AI → AI can't create nonexistent seeds → looks like AI doesn't work. Truth: AI didn't make them rich. If they have merit, AI happens to become one conduit. Buffett had no AI bot; Rockefeller had no quant algorithms. Their wealth came from ripening merit-seeds. Retail traders strain at the auxiliary-condition level. Those with merit have seed-power that makes auxiliary conditions fall into place. The gap is in seeds, not tools.
