Vibe federal prison.
It really is getting quite Kafkaesque. Vibe legislation. Vibe litigation. Soon vibe adjudication. If the legal system isn’t already an incomprehensible maze, it will be if it’s run entirely by AI.
You’re under arrest.
Why?
I really shouldn’t be speaking to you at all, but it has to do with your vibes.
Wow my refund is $69420.69!!!

IRS agent: Vibe tax audit.
My tax preparer had his tax software (expensive cloud-based shit that costs in the neighborhood of $30K per month) go completely down on him for a couple of months this spring (obviously not the best time for this). He had to have all of his clients file for extensions. When he told me about this I explained that it was almost certainly because the software company started using AI. He got all defensive and started saying how great he thought AI was, but it turns out he was talking about the use of AI instead of this expensive software and his employees for prepping tax returns.
I was already mentally picking out a new tax preparer, but when he mentioned that he was personally investing in a “reactionless space engine” where the inventor used ChatGPT to fix all the problems he was having with it, I made a point of starting the search that afternoon.
Hoo boy.
Yhea I prefer my tax return to be error-free
Yeah but taxes are so hard tho!
Let me correct that for you:
“USA taxes are hard”
All taxes are hard when you’re as dumb as me
I tried asking an LLM (Opus!) a question about how a specific calculation worked on my taxes and it was incredibly wrong.
I had made a minor mistake last year, so I had to call the CRA anyways. Just as an aside I asked and they confirmed the LLM was very very wrong never do that.
Edit: I should add, Quebec CRA employees have 200% more chill than Ontario CRA employees.
I actually had Opus help me out but tbf it was a simple reconciliation between 3 or 4 data sources. Essentially, when I fired my ex I accidentally paid her too much but had accidentally corrected the books to the correct amount so it showed as if I’d overpaid on taxes. I had not. Taxes were correct on what was actually paid out.
I found it helpful for consolidating my data — I had some really complex multi-brokerage stuff to consolidate, and that went well.
But it failed at calculating ACB correctly and it over-agreed on whether deductions were applicable or not.
My experience in using the government phone services through the years have always been positive, especially compared to non governmental services.
