And the US is about to, if they haven't already, put AI in charge of the Internal Revenue Service.

That should be fun.

Can’t wait for the billionaires to get tax refunds every fucking day while the little guy gets a $10000000 bill

I see what you're doing there, but the problem is that the government in general, and the IRS specifically, if a mistake is made, you're paying it with interest.

What I'd like to see happen is the AI going rogue and wiping all the data, including all the backup files.
