I don't have a horse in the race. I don't even know what financial statement analysis is. But it worries me that a novel reliance on these models for traditionally skilled labor jobs will turn into a dependence. These models use the built up experience of human practitioners to achieve similar results. But if a dependence grows, then there will be no more skilled human practitioners to further develop improved skills and knowledge for these jobs. Calcifying the skills in time.
That wouldn't be a problem if the models actually worked for that. We don't miss cobblers.
But these models only seem to perform these jobs on the surface. Enough that companies will try them and waste resources. This will just hurt the bottom line optimizer shops and boost the professionals doing quality work on the long run.
