That "nearly" is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting. It doesn't matter if your AI model is 99% or 99.99% accurate. For a tax return it has to be perfect every time or someone is at best getting a fine or at worst going to prison. Sure, human error happens too, but humans take accountability. That's why accountants are a regulated profession. Until an AI company CEO is willing to go prison if the output of their model is wrong, these tools are worthless. But don't take my word for it, head on over to Toot's own terms of service https://toot-books.pages.dev/terms#ai-not-advice
Comparing this to a human book keeper is farcical. | ||||||||

For a tax return it has to be perfect every time or someone is at best getting a fine or at worst going to prison. This is wildly out of touch with reality, at least in the US. The IRS barely audits anyone anymore, and if you make a mistake and they catch it, they often just correct it and send you a letter. You might pay a little in penalties, but it’s not that big of a deal. And I know literally dozens of small business owners who pretty blatantly dodge taxes in a hundred different ways and none of them have ever gotten so much as a slap on the wrist. And some of them have been audited! | ||||||||
