      Financial software is one of those things that companies just don’t update for decades. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if somebody had started handing off a bunch of their payroll or accounting reporting to an AI instead of just updating to a newer software with more features.

      I have worked in regulated industries for a long time. I guess it cannot be properly automated because laws change all the time (like every other month because some politician got a stupid idea and you have to start from scratch once again). That would be why we have companies dedicated to handling finances, taxes, and laws.
