Brief

@levelsio reported on 2026-08-03 that his expensive accountant responded to a question with a 100% AI-generated answer. The reply was useful, prompting him to realize he could have asked AI directly and to question the accountant’s value; he suggests accountants should instead offer true premium, human-run services for clients who want human oversight.

Why it matters

@levelsio (posted 2026-08-03T18:37:53Z) says the accountant he pays “a lot of money every month” replied to his question with a 100% AI-generated answer.

Key details

  • The AI reply was helpful, leading @levelsio to note he could’ve just asked AI himself and to consider replacing the accountant if they outsource responses to AI.
  • @levelsio argues accountants should sell a premium, human-run service (he already pays high fees) and keep humans in the loop because he prefers human involvement for accounting.
Source evidence

My accountant I pay a lot of money every month just replied to a question I sent him with a 100% AI reply explaining something

The answer was helpful though so I could've just asked AI myself

Of course you know what I'm thinking now, if I can just ask AI everything since he is forwarding everything to AI any way, why not replace him with AI

I guess he should be doing the opposite of AI, sell a premium service for a high price (he already does) and keep answering with humans as accounting is something I'd prefer to actually get a human in the loop

Anyway it's interesting
