It won't be because of Microsoft AI, that's for sure. They're getting lapped by the competition.

Suuuuure. I am currently working on a project team building AI tools for process efficiencies and to replace a CIS system. Gathering and inputting business rules and data alone is a 2 year effort. Then another 2 years to go live.

So yeah, let's see them get all the business rules into these systems for accountants and lawyers at different firms and go live in 12 months.

This is not a good thing at all. Would cause a massive depression.

Reminds me of all the automakers dumping billions of dollars into EV's. Now they all classified it as a loss.

Microsoft might want to try a feather CEO rather than a dot one.

South Park made an episode about it and it was hilarious. Bankers and Attorneys out of work and the Plumber had a Rolls Royce Phantom and wore a fur coat to quote jobs


That was the PanderVerse episode and it was hilarious.

You can already use ChatGPT as an accountant. You just upload your spreadsheets and tell it what you want it to do. You still need someone who knows what they are doing to check it
So you still need an accountant?

yes. you need 1 accountant who is willing to accept the lowest salary offer when 20 of their co-workers are laid off.

Elon Musk suggests we will eventually need some kind a universal payment system because of this. Like welfare checks but on a much broader scale.
