Yeah, Claude told me what a great idea converting my LLC to an S Corp would be and how much I would save in taxes. When I asked my accountant about he told me it would actually cost me more, because of NYC taxes S Corps.
I didn’t tell Claude I lived NYC, because it didn’t occur to me that it was relevant. I find tax stuff is full stuff like this (often more subtle than where you live).

- eks391 2mo agoThis is exactly what I found when I was trying to get advice for some business decisions. My friends with businesses all live in different states/jurisdictions, and the biggest takeaway has been that any tax-affecting advice is useless unless it is tailored all the way down to your city.
- Cthulhu_ 2mo agoI think this is the big gap in AI vs real people - they're focused on giving an answer, not asking questions. I've prompted AIs to ask me questions if anything was unclear or if important information was missing and it usually doesn't. Whereas financial advisors do.

- mmcnl 2mo agoSooo true, AI never asks questions. It just makes up requirements. I think it's because the models are trained on benchmarks where task completion is an important metric. But I'd rather have it not finish a task and specify why than make up stuff along the way.
