>Planning payroll with confidence. Settle your QuickBooks cash position against incoming PayPal settlements, build a 30-day forecast, rank what's overdue, and queue the reminders for you to approve and send.

All of those tasks—planning payroll, settling books, forecasting, ranking, reminding—involve read access to financial operations, not write access.

		Except that users who use AI “give up” the critical thinking part of their work, offloading it to AI. > https://www.media.mit.edu/publications/your-brain-on-chatgpt... Reviewing automated output is very different from actually doing the task, and results in skill decay and atrophy. > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironies_of_Automation The gap between write access and humans just rubber stamping output is not much at all.
