This really makes no sense - computer based automated accounts payable has been around since the 1960s, and is an extremely competitive market. AI and LLM don’t exactly bring some huge breakthrough here.

Most the purpose of hiring someone is handling edge cases, checking for fraud, etc - one client of mine made a single AP mistake (accepting a change to where to send payments) that cost them the equivalent of an AP clerk’s salary for a year.

They now have a part time AP clerk and part of her duties is calling any vendor who sends them a change of payment instructions. They’re fraudulent about half the time.
