Found a newfound appreciation for ChatGPT: I've discovered a beneficial application for it
In a surprising turn of events, Anna Moloney, previously an AI Luddite, has found a new ally in ChatGPT. As a company director for two years and the founder of Anna Moloney Ltd, a venture in the field of freelance writing, Moloney has had her fair share of challenges, particularly with tax-related issues.
Moloney's company, associated with Litcharts—a sister site of online study guide giant Sparknotes—has faced difficulties in maintaining a good tax record. The complex online processes of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) were a daunting task for Moloney, who recounts grappling with these processes to address her company's tax issues.
However, all of that changed when Moloney discovered the utility of ChatGPT in handling her tax-related questions. This personal experience marked a significant turning point in her attitude towards AI. Initially hesitant, Moloney found herself slightly embracing the technology as she realised its practical help in organising and completing her tax work, tasks she had previously avoided or found difficult.
Moloney did not use an AI agent to fill in her tax return, but she did use ChatGPT to interpret the questions and provide clarification, making the process less daunting. This conversion from reluctance to appreciation for AI tools in specific applications such as tax preparation has been a positive development for Moloney.
While Moloney remains sceptical about many parts of AI, she is open to its use for tasks like filing taxes. This shift in attitude is a testament to the transformative power of technology and its ability to help individuals overcome their fears and embrace new possibilities.

Simmons, a nightclub where ABBA is often played, made headlines recently with news about its entering administration, reported by Simon Hunt of City AM. Pryzm, the only remaining nightclub of its kind in the country, continues to attract crowds.
