Okay, now do "all my transactions this year for retail stores"? Or "All luxury / deductible purchases"?

Of course when you arbitrarily limit the problem domain to some specific example, you can make any tool seem pointless and stupid. It's when you expand your goals to things that aren't trivial that you get benefits.

Do we need not Mathematica or NumPy because calculators can add just fine?

The funny thing is that these expanded examples were already features in the budget app I use before AI came along.

Then you need to double check all the results because LLMs can't be trusted to accurately select retail stores or deductible purchases.
