chatgpt solved a little accounting data problem for me.

A relative wants to automatically classify credit card expenses and import them into quickbooks. Should be super easy, you would think.

chatgpt printed out the exact steps to get the transaction data into excel or quickbooks. It told me how to use transaction rules in quickbooks to classify the expenses.

It then gave me several possible statistical algorithms to perform the classification. And it gave me the python code to implement a logistic regression given the credit card transaction fields. Then it gave me the steps to import the final CSV into quickbooks.

All in less than 5 minutes. You could find out all of these steps on Google. But chatgpt synthesized all the steps into code given a natural language description of the problem. It could adapt and adjust its output from the previous prompt to compare approaches. That's a lot more context than google gives you. Pretty impressive I'd say.
