Tax noise vs. reality: IRS insights & practitioner perspectives

Right.

Like to kind of filter the information to make sure that you get what you need from from either the article or the podcast or whatever it is, the conference, like whatever it is you're you're attending or reading.

Yeah, no, I

think so.

Your comment made me think of the level of noise and this conference we've been talking so much about AI and how you see that changing media and how you're approaching your communications because there is so much incorrect information out there coming from all kinds of different sources.

How do you think about that?

My take on this, and Terry may have a similar take because we were sort of talking about this before the podcast, is that, you know, there's always been a lot of misinformation out there.

It's just now I think it's the speed and, to your point, the noise of it, right? So it just comes at people really, really fast and loudly.

So it's difficult to kind of dial some of that back and say, OK, here's a lot of what you're hearing, but here's what matters.

Like, here are the pieces that matter.

And that can be really challenging.

But the weird thing about AI, and I know we're all kind of figuring it out now because it's happening so fast, is that it also is so good.

Right.

Like we were talking about it at Forbes and one of the things when when like a new law would come out, I would stay up.

all night long reading, you know, 300 pages so that I could write something.

Now you have a lot of different resources and AI is one of them to kind of help you distill because I'm not going to write, you know, all 300 pages.

My readers don't care about all of it, right? They care about this small chunk of it.

And so let me figure out what it is that I need to read and then I can drill down on that.

So I think that AI actually is going to allow us a lot of resources and allow us to also be speedier But at the same time, I mean, we do have that conflict of having the people like who's yelling the loudest about whether it's a tariff refund check that's never coming or, you know, those things like being able to kind of step back and say, like, let's slow it down a minute and think about it.

I think right now and we may be talking about this today is Kwong is a great example.

Right.

Like you hear so much about Kwong and how.

everybody now has, you know, never had to pay taxes for three years or whatever, you know, that goes from one grain of truth to like this enormous impact.

Yeah.

I think right now there's an incredible reward and risk with artificial intelligence out there.
