The discussion highlights the progress AI has made, where it still falls short, and why financial modeling expertise remains essential. Expect to Learn: How ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot perform on the same financial modeling task The strengths and weaknesses of AI-generated financial models Why AI-generated models still require careful review and testing How custom instructions and skills can improve AI outputs Why financial modeling knowledge is still critical in an AI-driven world Here are a few quotes from the episode: \"People are trying to do their jobs and keep up with AI at the same time. It's exhausting.\" – Ian Schnoor \"AI is a magnifier, not a replacement for financial modeling skills.\" – Paul Barnhurst AI is powerful, but it is not a shortcut to quality work. It still needs guidance, structure, and strong fundamentals. The people who benefit most are those who understand both the tools and the work behind them. For now, the best approach is simple: test it, guide it, and never trust it blindly.
