KPMG Withdraws AI Report Full of "Vibe Citations"
About this episode
Blake and David discuss KPMG's flawed AI report and the implications of AI in accounting practices.
Can AI really clean up messy bookkeeping—and what happens when firms trust it too much? Blake and David break down KPMG’s error-filled AI report, the Pentagon’s new “Agentic Auditor,” and State Farm’s move to tie agent pay to AI. Blake also shares how he used Claude to complete two years of write-up work in hours, with practical lessons on where AI helps, where it fails, and why human review still matters.
