Ya true... whoops.

That is quite annoying, I just assumed it was right.

Alright - now it is only off by $23,000 or so.

Was a fun idea why it lasted ha.

@MitchC beat me to it - hallucinations are a problem with GPT's vision model as well. You have to assume that it translates the images to numbers correctly, then you have to assume that it adds the numbers up correctly.

These types of solutions fall under "intelligent document processing", so if you lose a lot of time tallying up numbers from spreadsheets, you can get a better solution elsewhere.

And to everyone else who wants to use AI / ML tools to do cool stuff like this, ALWAYS manually verify your results, and then set up tests to keep evaluating the results if you integrate it into one of your workflows. I guarantee that companies are losing millions because some accountants thought that GPT 4 would be a great time saving for invoice matching.
