Where is the artificial intelligence (AI)?

The thing is that humans are very special beings.

 

Part of me wants to agree with you, but I really don’t know.  For me this is one of the most fascinating questions out there.

hey all:

 

Anybody else out there having recent problems with the IRS?

 

I have a relatively minor issue that should NOT even be an issue...

 

I have many different financial accounts.  The IRS has been "looking" at them and has flagged one.  The one is flagged because I do not appear to be the authorized owner of the account.

 

I've had that account for MANY years.  Nobody else has access to it.  Every year, my statements from the financial institution that runs it are SENT to the IRS as part of my tax return.

 

EVERYTHING IS REPORTED.

 

So I called around.  Turns out the IRS has a new computer system.  The new computer system is "confused" by ANY minor typographical error.  For example, an extra space, a period in a weird spot, a middle initial instead of the full name...and so on.

 

I don't know for sure that this is an AI system...but I wonder.

Good luck buddy! I feel for you.

 

I deal with tax authorities in a number of jurisdictions. The IRS is by far the worst! But I hope it works out well.

They are. Even the unremarkable ones can be unremarkable in remarkable ways.
