So, hiring PwC is the same as using AI?
Yes, so you should ask for a big discount.
Not only that, from the article they are actively trying to become a Consultancy As A Service company, where somehow other companies would pay a subscription fee to.... talk to their AI, I guess?
The only time I've had to do with PWC, it was to get their advice on a compliance / tax related process. And it was less about the process itself or the 3 page pdf they produced (which much cheaper companies could have done better) and more because their "seal of approval" would give my company some leverage if the IRS had something against the process we implemented. "This was designed with PWC" means "we tried really really hard to do abide by the incredibly confusing wording of the law".
I doubt that "we asked PWC's chatbot" will have the same level of clout, but these guys have connections everywhere so I'm sure they will lobby pretty hard to get some ad-hoc law or some level of "certification" on the output of their future AI.
