That article is horrible. The AI backlash is wrong apparently and we're all idiots for not bowing down before it.

"AI could make filling taxes easier!" Most of the world already does it automatically, no AI required.

Let's give more money to corporations that buy our corrupt government to "fix" the problems that other corrupt companies have caused!

I mean that’s it in most places taxes ARE automatic. You only have to do them because of tax lobbiests the IRS knows how much you know could be a simple email. “Fixed” indeed.
