ChatGPT: The Latest In AI Technology

Chat GPT is artificial intelligence technology, a chat bot that is said to be able to converse like a human, drawing on masses of data and knowledge to do so, write in the style asked for, answer questions and solve problems. You type in a request, and it responds.

The chat bot was originally created for customer service however, people use it for various other purposes too. These range from:

  1. Writing essays

2. Drafting business plans

3. Generating code

4. Summarising text

5. Answering questions that would usually be put into google

6. Creating company names

7. Drafting emails

Some examples of how small business have been using Chat GPT include:

1. Social media captions

2. Product descriptions

3. Website content

4. Email subject lines

5. Blog post summaries

6. Newsletter headlines

While ChatGPT can be used to generate responses and provide information based on current events, it may not have access to more recent or updated information that has been published after 2021. This is because it is not practical for ChatGPT to be pulling data in real time as this would require significant computational resources and time.

Accountancy Insurance – Audit Shield Service

Clients of Harris Black would have received a letter from us offering you the opportunity to participate in our Audit Shield Service. Whilst we make all efforts to prepare your accounts and tax returns accurately, we cannot stop a government authority choosing to undertake a review or an audit.

With government authorities increasingly using data matching with other government bodies, banks, Single Touch Payroll and even companies such as AirBnB, audits and reviews are on the increase.

The Audit Shield service has provided effective financial protection to those of our clients who have been subject to an audit, enquiry, investigation or review from the Australian Taxation Office or any other relevant government revenue agency in relation to lodged returns. Whilst we act as your registered tax agent, you are able to opt into this service.

To understand more about the Audit Shield Services or to opt in, please contact your Harris Black team member

Bike Of Life

by Paul Whimp

Sometimes we get stuck on the treadmill of being busy, leaving us exhausted and flat as we realise we are not achieving the goals we intrinsically believe in.  Whilst achieving a great “life balance” is a well coined concept, how we manage to get this happening can be exhausting.

The Bike Of Life is a great little self-assessment to ascertain where your energy is going and where more attention can be directed.

How can we help you?

Today’s financial environment demands a regular review of strategy and a focus on execution.
