Absolutely needed: to get high efficiency for this beast ā¦ as it gets better, weāll become too dependent.
āall of this growth is for a new technology thatās still finding its footing, and in many applicationsāeducation, medical advice, legal analysisāmight be the wrong tool for the job,ā
Any strictly rule-based system, like accounting and taxes, is a job for traditional software, not AI. Particularly when the laws change every year.
Once it has the information in a recognisable format. Reading and recognising random receipts, bank statements, payment slips, and whatever and sorting it into a coherent format is what Iām trying to avoid.
I see. So AI for gathering the information to put into the accounting/tax software?
Thatās a more reasonable ask, but I wouldnāt personally trust AI with that. Iāve done something similar in games where I take a picture of something on screen and ask AI to collect all the information from many similar pictures into a table. Itās definitely good enough for gaming, but it makes mistakes often enough I wouldnāt sign my name attesting to the truth of anything it produced, you know?
Fair point, but i feel like thatās something thatās technologically solvable, and this is dealing only with text, a lot of which is already digital, just in multiple formats, and all easily checkable against the final figures if anyone so desires.
As a random aside, I saw a clip recently where someone had asked an āAIā model to reproduce a photo with zero changes one hundred times. There were more than zero changes.
Surprisingly, the mistakes ChatGPT made werenāt related to picture processing. Every time Iāve sent a picture, it has flawlessly analyzed the text (even if itās a screenshot of a massive Linux log or a screenshot with multiple windows / arbitrary text placement). The problems were more like the markdown table I created would not be reproduced perfectly with the new changes/additions. Itās pretty reliable early on, but either as the chat gets longer or the table does, fidelity can be lost. Not very often, but it does happen.
Just to clarify. But I find as long as youāre paying close attention and can catch mistakes or verify the output, AI does make such tasks much less tedious.
