There are tools designed for such financial work that use idioms and formulas finance people know. These people outgrew Excel but don't want the usual frustration of converting.
Science is a system of checks and balances, but doing checks and balances has no glory, so too many skip that. It's like playing defense roles in sports, nobody gets laid playing defense.
1. Amazon orders own devs to use their AI tool Foo
2. Devs reluctantly follow orders
3. Foo usage goes up
4. Amazon brags about high Foo usage in ad
5. Suckers see ad, buy Foo
6. Profit!
Bots will make MORE dupes, this is the Slashdot Way.

It reminds me of all the freebies one could get during the dot-com bubble; once it popped ads became ever more frequent, then they required payment for service, then they died.

China is building a maglev line between Beijing and Shanghai, which will then extend south. Given how fast they build conventional high speed rail, I expect that expansion will be rapid.
It's an interesting design too, and a largely domestic one. They do have a German built maglev in Shanghai, but the new EMUs they have been showing off bare little resemblance beyond using electromagnetic suspension. I'm looking forward to comparing it to Japan's electrodynamic suspension.

The reasons for not travelling seem questionable though, and you could argue that it wouldn't be safe for Indian staff to travel to the US.
Singing is pretty much a commodity service now. With autotune almost anyone can do it, but you can hire a professional for not a lot of money. It's good that people get work instead of AI slop, but also the rates are very low and it's a side gig at most.
The people who making a living from it tend to have other talents too. Song writing, stage performance, looking conventionally attractive, building up a social media following, etc.
AI probably won't change much in that respect.
It's incredible that anyone still invests in it, after Musk publicly admitted it was a scam.
And "the only solution for trips over 300 miles"? Less than an hour via existing maglev technology, which both Japan and China are deploying as we speak. That's just the start though, maglev can probably double that speed, close to the speed of sound. The issue is the noise, and you don't need a vacuum tube to solve it.
