Yes, please AI Overlords, here is all of my personal and financial information. (SARCASM JUST IN CASE ANYONE THINKS I THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA)
I believe it's the other way around (ChatGPT will be integrated into TurboTax), but it's still an infosec mess.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.
