I probably represent the general public more than the elite 0.001% that is Hacker News posters.

You really think the American public, of whom only 10% are more "excited" than "concerned" about AI[1], are enthusiastic about giving it their financial information?

		Muse is one of the fastest growing consumer apps. ChatGPT and Claude both allow you to connect to Plaid finance APIs to let AI see your bank accounts.

		Yes. I do. Won't be in 2026. Maybe 2027 or 2028.

		The concern with AI has more to do with who is running the AI, how smart/capable it is, and what it's allowed to do. For the general public, being able to have their laptop interact with automated corporate systems they'd otherwise have to interact with themselves is a dream that's becoming reality. Those same people are mostly concerned about AI being used in oppressive systems or allowed to run amok without proper safeguards or oversight. Put more pithily: there is reason to be both excited and concerned.
