Midjourney AI and mjr: "the rich people freaking out when they read that AI will be replacing IRS auditors"

Just start talking about how the IRS needs to look into using AI to review every single tax return, fairly, evenly, dispassionately, against an expert system that encodes current tax law and a knowledge of popular techniques for tax fraud, and that the AI will flag and rank questionable returns, which will be reviewed in rank order.

And if you want to really see the poop hit the variable oscillator, propose that since the intelligence community already has everyone’s banking transactions (did you know that? PATRIOT Act contains anti- money laundering provisions “in order to stop terrorist funding”) the AIs will be able to compare expenditures and deposits against reported income and expenses. Argue that there is no disclosure problem, since no human is getting access to that information.*

If you want to make the terror complete, the press release regarding the proposal should mention that the same AI that is being trained as a robot auditor is the one that can crush every human chess master that has ever lived, never forgets, and knows everything about every citizen down to the diameter of their butthole.

Since I don’t cheat on my taxes, and have written some pretty big checks in to the system, I wouldn’t actually mind seeing this. It’s a great opportunity for some start-up to put together a prototype.**

[*That is a trick NSA already used in its warrantless surveillance program: they defined data being private as “data that no human looks at.” So it’s OK if KEYTEXTSCORE accesses your data since nobody is looking at it, it’s still private, see?]

[** Inverting the training set of the AI would also make a great robo-cheat]
