Your example use case is automatically filling out an IRS form, operated by the sort of IRC department that makes a webform that's only up during business hours? Do you realize how legally risky that is to create, and how legally risky that will be to operate?

What are some of the risks? This is a public web form available on the IRS website

If you're automating filling out the form, you aren't reading the instructions and you aren't checking what you're putting into it as much as you should be. And if you put in incorrect information, it tends to be considered fraud, even if it's downstream of a sloppy LLM rather than downstream of a particular fraudulent scheme.

You're right, but this is where the LLMs are especially useful. Our customers all prompt it to terminate if it doesn't have the right information / the pre submission confirmation doesn't match
