I would love to see an AI trying to my job. It's useless at almost every aspect except for seeming like it knows what it's talking about.
So the higher ups who never know anything will listen to it, implemented it's dumb suggestions that are either unworkable or actually illegal and will burn the company to the ground. It would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact that I would be out of a job.
They want a new financial management solution (currently they're using some ancient thing on SAP) they've looked at a few solutions but they don't like any of them because they all cost a lot of money since they all go with the subscription model these days rather than just letting you buy the software in one big payment. They have actually considered letting an AI right some software for them. Should be fun.
