Future of Fundamental HF/AM

Just something I’ve been pretty curious about - where do you see the future of “classic” fundamental funds with long/short value oriented plays heading? I’ve read a lot about the rise of funds like AQR, Renaissance, etc., with PhDs deploying super quantitative strategies. Interested to hear some takes.
