Why are devs easily replaced by AI but not accountants, financial analysts, and legal researchers?

Legal guys especially, no one likes lawyers, bu they held everyone hostage for years with forcing you to hire them to craft/read documents with their legalese nonsense language if you want to do anything business related. As early as early 2023 every small business owner exposed to chatgpt realized they could cut them out.

meh I'm currently making a company and I don't trust Claude enough to not pay a lawyer and a professional accountant. Pretty sure if my accountant fucks up something he won't say "oh yeah you're absolutely right, it's not legal, it's actually fraud, let me plan another approach". Imagine being in front of a judge cause you tried to optimise your accounting using Claude. At the very least a lawyer+accountant can be held responsible I guess

How do you know this? How do we know who exactly is being replaced by AI. People are getting fired left and right because the economy is going to shit and everything is starting to cost more. Not because AI is replacing them? Are you going to count employees using AI for better productivity as a form of replacement? That sounds like they are using a tool to speed up work flow. Call me when an actual robot does everything that the human who got fired does without another human controlling it. Call me when that shit is actually "agentic" and not the marketing version of agentic where it's just a better version of auto-complete.

The economy has been going to shit for the last 5 years because investment has been siphoned into AI research and datacenters instead of basic infrastructure.
The layoffs you are seeing are the flow of money drying up, so companies like Orcale are tapping into payroll to keep the money flowing.

>>108660960
Because software is too crucial, and typing out logic is too slow and bug prone. Leave the computers to the computers *(thumbs up)

The economy was bad because of Covid, AI just so happened to be the perfect investment vehicle during this time. Without it, investors would've sought something else or the economy would've crumbled sooner.

The nuance you are missing is that investors are never really "passive" - it's an illusion propped up by legal doctrine.
The Economy "crumbling sooner" isn't necessarily a bad thing either - crumbling sooner gives it the ability to rebuild sooner also.
The "investment vehicle" serves as a dumping ground for cash, to prevent wage growth and slow post-COVID inflation.
Except real wage growth is actually necessary, and wage growth is not actually an inflation driver.
The problem is the "soft landing" mentality. The soft landing approach is an attempt to let investors have their cake and eat it too, while corroding the foundation of the Economy.
All its done is allowed investors to preserve their "passive investment" illusion while kicking the can to a later date.
>>
>>108660960
Regulations & fiduciary duty (that has to be hold by a human being) in some cases.

Give it time though - laws and regulations evolve, albeit at a much slower pace than technology.
>>
>>108662054
>>108662124
To build on this point: AI is a "passive investment" when investors are never truly passive.
The ROI on "traditional investment" is low in comparison to trying to speculate on bubbles.
Furthermore traditional investment creates the scare of the boogieman of wage growth driving inflation.
But in doing this, investors seriously corroded the foundation of the Economy.
>>
>>108662124
Yea, you and I are essentially saying the same thing. It is all a big game of who can delay the inevitable while making it out with the most money possible to weather the storm. Our current economy has been raped and it's by no means an accident. It's so people will naturally gravitate towards what they believe will be a better system (communism) so that the powers that be can actually exercise their power openly with impunity instead of having to obfuscate it through a complex system.
>>
>>108660960
They are. But also there's a strict threshold in those areas. Responsibility.
>>
>>108662198
The Communism narrative is very out of place.
I would argue that ship has already sailed, Biden was the tyrannical "Communism" via Neoliberal-Progressive coalition.
That emperor was deemed to have no clothes.
Unless you think the bubble can continue for a decade, there is no time to undo that reputational damage.
Rather, the Anti-Centrist coalition demands hypercompetence.
Hypercompetence requires challenging authority not the opposite.
If you think the left-wing will betray the gamers again, which is certainly a possibility, their very own power structure cannot sustain themselves, we're talking Civilizational Collapse not Tyranny.
That's why I think Woke is thoroughly dead. It could only survive in the old Neoliberal-Progressive paradigm, not a Progressive-Fascist Gamer Nerd Reich.

>but not accountants
Someone still has to sign the statements and the filings, they have used AI to reduce junior positions though. Also AI is pretty shitty at handling constantly changing bureaucratic regulations specially since they don't follow logical patterns it can identify and they're areas with heavy academic doctrine influence which also don't fit easily into pattern recognition.
There are companies that try to develop specialized ai tools for things like tax, mostly for big firms, but someone still has to double check and there's lots of gray areas in regulation that will lead it to hallucinate badly unless it's been populated with past jurisprudence and academic doctrine for those areas.
You don't want someone vibe filing your taxes if they don't know what they're doing.
>>
>>108661152
Stupid. You don't go to a lawyer to craft documents, unless it's your first time. You go to a lawyer to defend said document in court.
>>
>>108660960
accountancy comes with legal culpablility is probably why. if you get ai to sign of on accounts submitted to the irs you might end up getting super-raped, because if there is one thing the government actually cares about it's tax revenue.

They're not but it's way easier to see the effects of replacing accountants, analysts, and legal researchers immediately

I'm work in finance at a big bank. My job is morphing into decision making and internal sales. AI did replace some interns and junior positions but it is still absolute dogshit when it comes to anything that is a bit more complex or requires getting creative because data is incomplete or obfuscated. Besides, you will never get a big suit to talk to Claude or ChatGPT. They want someone to tell them what is happening in a direct comprehensible way and to debate what it should be done.

I think it is the same with programmers. Code monkeys who just receive an input and produce code to achieve the desired output will all be replaced. The guys that adds value through other means won't.
In my field it would be something like, the dude that just calculated the value of a bond or the return rate of a loan got replaced very quickly. The guy that told the old fart the bond is shit because the ceo running the issuing company is a scammer and the bank should allocate the capital into this other real estate deal instead won't be.

They all are, the only jobs left will be in compliance arbitrage.

Eg. Maybe you need to do an accounting audit of some company, the AI can likely do a better job than any human, but it will still need human sign off, so there's a human accountability chain - since you can't sue AI.

bullshit.

cutting out developers is bullshit too.

Driving a car boils down to a logical workflow with all the data you need at the tip of your fingers. There is no judgement. Machines can't make decisions because they can't be responsible for the outcome.

programmers are not easily replaced
HOWEVER
for the last 10-20 years software has been getting more and more fucking retarded, new tools and shit that come out, bloat the system to hell and back, in order to create a justification for shitheads who don't know shit about logic or design, script kiddies who can't actually do the hard stuff and have no motivation to
THEY are easily replaced. I have seen so many low brow retards lose their jobs because they only ever delivered shitty half-baked "code" that ran like frozen tar.
Meanwhile I've been learning how to write high efficiency, bulkified, weakly coupled, low level, legacy, bare metal SOFTWARE for decades, honing my skills until I am the wise master on the mountain. They suggest I use AI every so often, I just hit em with a glare and suddenly they have better shit to do, I just got a raise, they wouldn't dare fire me.
if AI is taking your job git gud faggot, you never belonged in my field anyway.

I work as an analyst in Insurance and would agree with this, but I'd also say that AI gets confused by our shit data governance too.
>data spread across tons of SAS jobs, python codes, SSIS work flows, JCL mainframe jobs, data cubes, etc
>KPIs locked in Excel reports that use macros, form controls, etc that current code agents don't work great at operating.
>old and redundant fields
>products varying wildly by State in complete and unpredictable ways due to regulations

I think if our company spun up a small team that had read-only access to everything in the company for like a year and an unlimited token budget we could probably have a code agent clean most of this stuff up and probably fire idk, like 15% of the company or something and save a few million on SAS licenses or whatever. But we could have also done that streamlining 5 or 10 years ago with a team twice that size (because no AI) and we probably could have downsized by like 7% or something.

Basically making these sorts of jobs replaceable with AI requires good data governance practices across the board, no siloing, that sort of thing. Our leadership hasn't shown any interest in doing that in the past, why the fuck would they do that now?

>>108665076
I guess I can't rule out that there will be some sort of Microsoft AI that automatically emails Betty in financial reporting and nicely asks her for her ancient mainframe job that she inherited and has been running for the past 20 years and the company relies on that has a ton of ancient SAS coding hacks in it, and then it can email IT security and ask for a firewall tunnel so it can connect to our mainframe terminal emulator to run the job... I'm not ruling out that this could happen someday, but it doesn't seem like it'll happen in the next few years at least.
