Accounting. In my region tax law can suddenly change outside of the usual annual update cycle and, like everywhere, is riddled with edge cases and unclear interpretations.

Most importantly there's often a period of general uncertainty and adoption, during which the new law is already in force, but LLMs will rely on whatever there was previously.

Most people find this job stressful and boring, but the same can be said about software engineering. Regular people pay money to have it dealt with.

Overall I think there will always be demand for handling the messiness of the real world and humans have the upperhand here because they learn as they go, not via release cycles costing a sizeable sum and taking months.

If LLMs can handle software engineering well enough to no longer need engineers, accounting will be solved by the same model version.

Seriously if the future manifests, all of these standard effort based jobs would become redundant...

The issue with outdated information is way overstated, it'd just add the current rules to the context when evaluating and be done with it. We're already at 1 million context size... That's enough for a lot of rules - and the number will likely go higher as time progresses
