@Natasha_Jay I suspect that one of the few applications where a heavily hallucinating LLM can outperform a human would be in replacing board members, C-suite executives, and their direct reports. I propose a longitudinal study with a control group of high level executives using real data, and experimental group using hallucinated, or maybe even totally random data filtered into plausible ranges, using executive compensation deltas as the metric.

Honetsly, it should not be on non-technical people to realize this shit is bullshit - those selling the bullshit should be held accountable for intentionally misleading their customers.
@Epic_Null @Natasha_Jay That's bad, but honestly--switching to a new system without ever double checking anything?
Everyone involved should be fired, including the #AI

@Natasha_Jay This offers a glimmer of hope that the managerial class may self-destruct without doing too much more damage to the rest of us.
