🧮 COOL AF! (Cool Accounting Facts!)

Can robots explain why numbers feel weird— or is that accounting instinct purely human?

Will accountants soon get further replaced by AI? Sure, AI crunches numbers at lightning speed - however AI can’t judge intention, navigate morally-gray scenarios, or uphold ethical standards. 

Automation can’t explain what data really mean to clients, or provide guidance with empathy and verifiability - they’re interpreters, storytellers, and moral compasses of financial reporting.

So while automation might perfect your CPA exams one day, however AI still can’t explain why numbers feel off inside your gut - things only accountants can bring to the table.
