I did something similar. I gave all my stocks, mutual funds, 401(k) and everything and they put it into a spreadsheet with my net worth for the day. It used Friday is close to add everything up. It took about four minutes at most. I think AI is great. I’m sad that so many are poo pooing it.

What happens when the Internal Revenue Service issues a subpoena to AI for all of this data that you and others have turned over to AI?

Will you and others think AI is so great then?

The last 20 years of my working career were spent programming routers, switches and voice products from Cisco Systems for enterprise customers like Bank of America.

When had to produce a detailed design package for the Bank to approve before converting enterprise sites in their network, everything from switch/router configuration to IP addressing, etc.

If I had the use of a AI tool like Claude AI, the time required to put together a site design package would have been reduced by at least 50% if not more.

In that job we had to use Microsoft Excel extensively, for anyone using Excel, using Excel now with an AI tool installed as an add-on to Excel makes the product like an entirely new product where complex formulas, formatting and data correct as simple as type a simple instruction with only having basic knowledge of Excel.
