You can't seriously believe laymen will try to implement their own tax calculators.
- baq 5mo agoof course not. what I believe is that laymen will put all their tax docs into codex and tell it to 'do their taxes' and the tool will decide to implement the calculator, do the taxes and present only the final numbers. the layman won't even know there was a calculator implemented.
- William_BB 5mo agoYeah, good luck trusting the output!
- baq 5mo agocheck back in a couple of years!
- William_BB 5mo agoAh right! Reminds me of AGI by 2025 :D
- TeMPOraL 5mo ago> the layman won't even know there was a calculator implemented. That's on company making the agentic harness. Hiding details of what computer does from the user is the original sin of this industry, and subsequent generations of developers and software companies keeps doubling down on it. (Case in point - I just downloaded the Codex app for Windows, and in the options I see it has two UI modes of operating, one of which is meant for "non coding" and apparently this means hiding the details of what the agent is doing. This is precisely where the layman is betrayed by the tool.)
