In a 1964 speech the British law lord, Lord Justice Harman, is reported to have told an audience:
‘Accountants are the witch doctors of the modern world and willing to turn their hands to any kind of magic.’
There was a time when this same quote appeared on the websites of dozens of firms of accountants.
Maybe we should adopt an amended version of the quote:
‘AI systems are the witch doctors of the modern world and able to turn their hands to any kind of magic.’
(You need to know me to know why that quote so appeals to me. There's a clue in this earlier posting on this blog)
