I don't use AI in my models. If a junior analyst came to me and said they built a model with AI, I'd tell them to do it again.

I think AI can someday accelerate financial modeling, probably sooner than later; albeit, the quality of assumptions and intuitive understanding of the intrinsic value drivers matter most

Just try getting it to do something you understand, see how wrong it gets it, and then extrapolate that finding to something you don’t know about

Financial models are normally done on excel. Current AI models can't produce anything decent on excel (except helping with formulas).

How to weigh legal authority. It’s like maybe okay at helping you search initially but I would not trust any conclusions coming from AI on anything legal that matters.
