A friend of a friend has too - they just ask the AI some random questions in the morning to hit their KPIs because AI doesn't make for a good accountant.

- dyauspitr 7mo agoThat’s far from the truth. LLMs are excellent accountants, especially for net zero balance stuff which is how most companies run.
- jamesfinlayson 7mo agoMaybe - I think my friend's friend is more in the giving nuanced advice space of accounting rather than anything too mathematical.

- FuckButtons 7mo agoI know accountants, most of the stuff they deal with is getting stuff to make sense when your dealing with an unreliable narrator dealing with push back from their employers and then attempting to synthesize a coherent narrative over a large corpus of heterogeneous internal documents, controls, spreadsheets and legal agreements. LLM’s as they exist now are yes men, they are not good at making coherent fact patterns, especially when someone pushes back on them or gives them a red herring or mis-represents something. There’s a long list of things that need to improve for them to gain traction in that industry.
- wolvoleo 7mo agoI literally say woof woof hehe. I have to be careful sharing my screen because the sidebar (conversation history) is full of "morning puppy greetings!!" and stuff. I can see the reports being generated myself (I work in that part) so I know what I'm doing looks good enough. But it would be funny if I really had to give it busywork. I'd probably build a local agent (like with foundry or something) to talk to copilot keeping it busy. I like the paradox of that.
