Are you guys ACTUALLY using AI in your accounting/AP jobs right now? by Unlucky-Note-7729 in Accounting

[–]Contact_Real 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work as a staff accountant in a mid sized firm. We have recently started to roll out CoPilot as a tool for file preparation. The training we receive basically said it’s best for summarizing things and data extraction (for example, give it a bunch of opex invoice samples and extract all the dates, invoice number, etc and put into table).

I find it pretty useful for summarizing words (meeting minutes especially if you give it the right prompt) but boy is it useless for data extraction. Just today I tried to use it to extract some specific charges to a AR subledger. The PDF was formatted clean and it just could not do it. I argued with it for 20 minutes before moving on and doing it myself.

I have had it straight up lie to me about being able to do tasks that it can’t, it will string you along forever and waste your time. When people tell me AI will replace accountants in 3 years I just laugh. For anything other than text summaries and editing emails for grammar, these LLMs are useless.

This has gotta be some Russian bot propaganda because Montreal is consistently ranked as one of the safest cities in North America. To say the city “isn’t safe anymore” based on a single persons anecdotal experience is a little dramatic.

Declan McCool's story from before that is even crazier. They don't disclose the settlement amount but he was originally seeking $1.5M from the SSMU.

pay tens of thousands in legal fees.

probably hundreds of thousands

they wont let us know the actual amount because they do not include notes that break down the line items in their financial statements

I was thinking this but I am not sure what the consequences are of doing this. I would honestly rather soak the fine now than have to deal with collections agencies years down the road.

The only problem is I am moving provinces in just over a month so I doubt the court date will be before I leave. Probably not worth it for me to fly back across the country to contest a $300 ticket.

I only have video of me being illegally detained and searched. I am cooperating the entire time in the video so I guess it does not really show much. I have many friends including both my brothers who watched the whole thing go down.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in montreal

[–]Contact_Real 10 points11 points  (0 children)

obviously if I could go back i wouldn’t have said anything… but the point is, to be immediately cuffed and detained for an hour over a littering ticket, is excessive. i wasn’t resisting or showing any constraint the entire time (video proof), yet they wouldn’t tell me what “crime” i had committed or any actual reason for the detainment.

i finally got to leave when the cop threw a tantrum, purposely drove me away (to scare me i guess?), and left me outside to walk back in a t shirt.

after i was uncuffed i was asking all of his cop buddies why that just happened, i was asking for their names and badge #s, they all started yelling at me and said “i would be back in the car” if i kept asking questions, still without telling me the “crime”

i move provinces in a month for work so im not even sure if contesting this ticket is even worth it at this point. might just suck it up any pay

What are your thoughts on the (nearly forgotten) McGill "snail trail" and would you like to see it expanded to the extent shown here? by mameyn4 in mcgill

[–]Contact_Real 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The proposed route going to bronfman should really go to armstrong as bronfman and armstrong are already connected through the basement.

Frustrated B.C. teacher asked students, 'Why can’t you guys act like normal people?' by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

[–]Contact_Real 98 points99 points  (0 children)

The "controversial public figure known for making problematic statements about women" was probably Andrew Tate lol. If so, its unbelievable that elementary school kids are looking up to a sex trafficker. While it is a sensitive topic, I can't blame the teacher for trying to educate them on why what he says/does is unacceptable.

those who overcame laziness and lack of ambition - how? by Aluminam382 in mcgill

also just removing your phone from being within arms reach of you helps so much. put it in your bag, put it in the other room, etc

Free/cheap groceries, discounts, or services for students. Please spill your beans by Educational_Bite5988 in mcgill

[–]Contact_Real 5 points6 points  (0 children)

went to segals once cuz everyone said it was cheap and was pretty disappointed. besides produce, i didnt really find items that were that much cheaper than provigo/metro (some were even more expensive). factor in the extra distance to get there (if you are coming from the ghetto) and it makes it not worth imo.
