Silly Humans 001: Invoice Capture

When alien observers study Earth, they might be puzzled by our inefficient business processes. Here's a comic journey through one particularly "silly" human activity...

Setup Frame
One day, aliens discover Earth on a scouting trip.
Shot Of Humans
They see us glued to screen devices.
Make Invoice
As they zoom in on businesses, they discover a peculiar behavior: humans extract trading data from structured systems like databases or ERPs, convert it to a human-readable format, and then send it via electronic communication.
Capture Invoice
On the receiving end, another human reads the human-readable format and re-enters the trading data into a system. Eventually, the data is back in a structured format inside an ERP or database.
Confused Aliens
This is very confusing for the aliens—why introduce two biological bottlenecks just to transfer trading data between organizations? Maybe humans aren't that intelligent after all...
Invoice Processing
The world of financial documents is messy. For a long time, there was no solution—you needed inferential computation (a human) to decode the invoice. Now, with LLMs, you can automate this mundane part of business.
Chaos to Clarity
Stubber can turn chaos into clarity. Let's not look like idiots to the aliens.
