Been hearing this a lot, and I don't follow the logic behind it beyond "try to say the most extreme thing you can to get attention".

Is the theory that, instead of say, a company just subscribing to a piece of HR software to help manage their staff, they will instead spend weeks pissing around with Claude to hack an unproven one together, followed by then continuing to piss around maintaining and altering it over the coming years, and this will be considered an economical approach?

Adding to this, do the AI's even know and keep up with all the payroll and tax laws? Also would they have access to all the 3rd party payroll system and have connections with all the banks? There are many rabbit holes one could go down here around laws, regulations, audits, etc... HR and payroll are not just excel spreadsheets.

You'd just vibe code all that.

You just type your exact comment into Claude and it'll take care of it. Don't worry.

The smartest people are those who use their brains the least now.
