What a missed oppurtunity to fire that extra person. Maybe the AI could also figure out how to do taxes and then everyone in the office could be out a job.

Well, you know this employment crisis all started when the wheel was invented and put all the porters out of work. Then tech came for lamplighters, ice cutters, knocker-uppers, switchboard operators, telegraph operators, human computers, video store clerks, bowling alley pinsetters, elevator operators, film developers, lamp lighters, coopers, wheelwrights, candle makers, weavers, plowmen, farriers, street sweepers. It's a wonder anyone still has a job, really.
Let's just put an AI in charge of the IRS and have it send us an actual bill which is apparently something that just too complicated for the current and past IRS to do./s
Edit: added /s because it wasn't apparent this was sarcastic
Intuit and H&R Block spend millions of dollars a year lobbying to prevent that. It doesn't even require "AI", the IRS already knows what you owe.
