That’s the difference between AI in cars and AI for business processes. L5 must be >99.99% right. Business processes have a much lower bar.

Even moderate accuracy is sufficient to have a dramatic impact on all sorts of jobs whose only function is maintaining business processes, and it can be done gradually. Eventually, you’ll have 2 workers doing the job of 10.



Oh, let me tell you something. If you want to extract the fields from an invoice, there is no service in this world with more than 90-95% accuracy. OCR itself make errors on each page. So you might send 1 thousand dollars instead of 1 dollar. Or a million. In the end you need a human to double check it, so the automation will only increase productivity by 50%, not 50x. But it sure it pleasant to have the AI pre-fill the fields.
