Controller Using AI?
My apologies if this is unallowed. I work for a private US company owned by a German company, and we use SAP. As such, we use German GAAP. We've had a recent confusion about the proper accounting for in-transit material to be used in customer-owned projects. I just reached out to our global accounting leads for clarification
One of my controllers said "did you ask chatGPT" and I laughed it off. Then she shared a screenshot of what it responded with.
I am under the impression that chatGPT is a language learning model, and while may be accurate, is not actually trying to be accurate but instead trying to *look* accurate, so I do not want to trust anything it says. I may be biased, as I do not trust any AI at this stage in the technology's development.
Is this normal? Am I in the wrong here? What do I do?
