You'll use AI and like it too - if you work for PwC. Paul Griggs, US chief executive of the global professional services giant, has made clear there is no room at the corporation for AI skeptics.

Speaking to the Financial Times, Griggs indicated that anyone who believed they had the "opportunity to opt out" of AI is "not going to be here that long," and warned senior staff not "paranoid about being AI-first" will be replaced by others who are more comfortable with the tech.

It's the biggest racketeering scheme in history and seems like everyone wants in

I think I'll have a talk with our controlling.

So, hiring PwC is the same as using AI?

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 1 points 22 minutes ago

Yes, so you should ask for a big discount.

My god, the accountants who eventually have to clean up this mess will make so goddamn much money.

I'm sure they'll just hire another professional services company.

GDP economists hate this one weird trick!

Oh shit, I applied to that company a few days ago. Guess I'll be telling them to fuck right off when they call back

You must adhere to my religion or you will no longer be working for this company.

Ah, yes, firing everyone that's not a sycophant. That always ends up well for any organisation. /s

Well, it’s not like PwC does stuff where anally-retentive levels of accuracy and precision are required, so I can see why they’d be all for AI. /s

Deloitte and ~~Arthur Andersen~~ Accenture are saying the same things. Are KPMG and EY going the same route or looking for the market opportunity of “being correct” which I’ve heard is important in accountancy.

I'm so tired of seeing AI generated images of robots using computers
