alt Hacker NewsThe "real humans" doing the tasks being replaced are overworked kids less than 2yrs out of college on an average of 4hrs of sleep at working at 3am. If the AI makes their jobs take half as much time I bet they're a lot more likely to catch errors (and live longer).
at risk of sounding facetious, how exactly do you catch an error in a sum without performing the sum yourself?
How do you verify that all the tariffs are properly allocated to the correct GL code without going through the invoices and checking for each tariff on the list? How do you make sure none were accidentally assigned to other GL codes? All you have is pdfs, you dont know what the AI did or didnt do with the info on the pdf, there are not many use-cases to catch its errors without doing the work yourself.
If anything, it's going to add a step to these "kids" work where they have to use the AI to do the work and then redo 90% of the work anyway just to verify the output and then AI is going to get the credit anyway.
Or the overworked people are going to use AI and not verify it, which means not catching any errors or hallucinations, which apparently is fine because someone claims it's a solved problem for the black box of infinite possibility and inconsistent output.
