#4A bit of a meta topic, but this type of writing style irks me to the point I almost always either close the tab or am so distracted for the rest of article I don’t pay attention to the point. Let’s look at the first five blocks of text:
There is a title, then a short introduction, then an unnecessary image, then three more paragraphs where it’s repeated with the exact same words what was already in the first two blocks.
What’s the point of that? Why are you making me read the exact same thing twice in succession? Who does that appeal to?

Pretty sure software is still here?

It's GPT slop. It doesn't even address its stated premise.

#7I don't get it, AI does some impressive things but I don't trust it to write any code that goes to production. I've used AI for many one off python scripts for visualizing some log files that mostly worked, which was convenient. Maybe AI is just bad at embedded C but the other day I had it write some code that resulted in a subtle error because the AI didn't account for C truncating, not rounding, when doing math with integers. It makes me wonder if most errors are going undetected since reviewing code can be harder than writing code.
So articles like this that someone is using AI in finance scare me. Maybe the big 4 are using AI as an excuse to put pressure to get lower rates, it doesn't mean they actually think AI is capable of it. Or maybe auditing was already a racket that is easily disrupted by another racket.
