  >would you know if they were dependent? Yup, because I'm one of these office workers. Financial controller stuff in PE space & coding as hobby and interest in AI space. There just isn't a direct equivalent thing that captures the knowledge in a machine readable way the way a code base does. It's all relationships, phone calls, judgement calls, institutional knowledge, meetings, coordination, navigating egos and personal agendas etc. There is nothing there that you can copy paste into an LLM like you can with say a compile error. Even the accounting parts that conventional wisdom says should be susceptible to this...it's just not anywhere close to useful yet. Think about how these LLMs routinely fail test like "is 9.90 or 9.11 bigger" or miscount how many Rs are in strawberry. You really want to hand decisions about large amounts of money to that? And maybe send a couple million to the wrong person cause the LLM hallucinated a digit wrong. It's just not a thing. Maybe with some breakthroughs on hallucinations it could be but we all know that's a hard nut to crack. >automate dull parts I've been trying hard to find applications given my enthusiasm for coding & AI. No luck yet. Even things where I thought this would do super well...like digging through the thousands of emails via RAG+LLM is proving oddly mediocre. Maybe that's an implementation flaw, not sure.
