Comment on My thousand dollar iPhone can't do math

The core functionality is simple:
Automatically, upon each payment, add the expense to my app
Update an Apple Watch complication with the % of my monthly budget spent
Categorize the purchase for later analysis
Can someone enlighten me? I don’t understand why you need AI for this in the first place.

Reading the payment and turning it into structured data

Dozens of apps and services do that already and and have for years before AI existed.

Yea, but those are all using heaps of proprietary heuristics.
The beauty of LLMs and one of their most useful tasks is taking unstructured natural language content and converting it into structured machine readable content.
The core transformer architecture was original designed for translation, and this is basically just a subset of translation.
This is basically an optimal use case for LLMs.

Quite obviously not the optimal use case. “The tensor outputs on the 16 show numerical values an order of magnitude wrong.”
