Trillions of dollars to develop a calculator that’s wrong sometimes.
I mean, most calculators are wrong quite often
I’ve never seen a calculator being wrong, and I’m genuinely curious what you’re talking about.
this one is just wrongerer
It’s about time all those math types learned to relax a bit. These numbers in these spreadsheets don’t need to be exact all the time. It’s really more about the overall flavor of the spreadsheet than how “right” any individual field is. Error bars are there for a reason people!
Vibe accounting
I mean, it’s on brand with everything else these days: https://www.newsweek.com/how-much-trump-worth-depends-how-he-feels-384720
“Please calculate the totals to reflect a favourable result”
Sounds like what accountants do already
Accountants tally the numbers and hand you the totals. Twisting them is unethical and can lead to them losing their licenses.
Analysts manipulate the numbers to push a message. No ethics allowed.
Signed, an analyst raised by an accountant. Interacting with other analysts is infuriating.
It’s all about whether your accounts give a vibe of truthiness. Auditors need to chill.
Everyone else who’s anti-AI:
- What is that smell? It smells like a used diaper filled with Indian food!
- What is that?! It smells like a turd covered in burnt hair!
- It smells like Bigfoot’s dick!
0% of the time it works because I shut that shit off the first minute I saw it
$20 of the time
Did he just spend the first half of the article explaining why ‘copilot in excel’ (not agent mode) wasn’t designed for calculation tasks, them finishes with complaining that on benchmarks it fails 80% of the time?
The 54% accuracy of agent mode should be called out, not the low accuracy of the thing that wasn’t designed for it.
Damn thats high!/s
