XGBoost vs Human Markets [P]

What is the generally thought of as the upper limit of the predictive power of XGBoost vs an aggregate of humans?

Right now I feed the model the same information that the human market has access to, and the model gets crushed on Top 1 accuracy, it closes the gap a bit but is still 10pp below the market on Top 2 accuracy. Adding the market pricing information to the model does nothing or hurts accuracy compared to just the market pricing.

I'm just feeling really stuck, and I cant seem to be able to tell if I am legitimately at the upper end of what is actually possible with a XGBoost model or if there is some sort of data encoding issue or I just lack enough data.
