They cut through the hype and discuss what AI actually does well, where it still struggles, and how professionals should be thinking about using it today. From building models to handling workflows, the conversation highlights both the value and the limitations of AI tools in real work. Expect to Learn Where AI actually helps in finance and modelling work Why most “one-click solution” claims are unrealistic The importance of checking and guiding AI outputs How instructions and structure improve AI results Here are a few quotes from the episode: “It’s not a one-click solution. You still have to check everything.” – Giles Male “You will have to understand every line to guide AI properly.” – Ian Schnoor AI is powerful, but it’s not a shortcut to good work. It still needs guidance, structure, and strong fundamentals. The people who benefit most will be the ones who understand both the tools and the work behind them. For now, the best approach is simple: use it, test it, and don’t trust it blindly.
