Human accountants are notoriously non-deterministic too, and any sufficiently complex accounting process contains inaccuracies. The question then is always "are these inaccuracies material". I'm actually very impressed by TFA and it seems to me that if we get another order of magnitude improvement, it'll be around the accuracy of human accountants.
humans can operate in dynamical systems (where your actions can change the underlying system). LLMs are not trained to do that and have shown to be terrible at it
Yes but you have: 1. specific explicit training and certifications 2. someone to yell at and who can be fired for non-performance
You can still do that with AI. You hire 1 accountant to use AI to do the work of 20, require them to sign off on all of the work, and yell at them, before firing them, and then hiring an even less experienced one to manage the work of 50.
