KPMG issued a report citing all the transformational ways GenAI has transformed industry, it’s been widely cited.

@GossiTheDog This has gone so far that I think we're going to have to change the old "It was DNS" to "It was AI hallucinations"

@GossiTheDog Time between publication and the issues getting flagged…

[fgraf@hachyderm.io]

@GossiTheDog I just wanted to sign up to read it "1€ for 4 weeks", sounds fine

"Then €69 per month." WOAH, okay, important to cancel early enough!!

@GossiTheDog collective hallucination aka bullshit

[jarjan@mederland.nl]

@GossiTheDog
We really need to get rid of the term "Hallucinations". It's an algorithm spewing nonsense. It's a bullshit generator spewing bullshit. It's a chatbot trained to serve up crap that sounds plausible. In short, it's a tool that does exactly what it's designed to do.

And the people who published this monstrosity should not be able to hide behind the tool they used!

@GossiTheDog AI doesn't hallucinate. That is just a marketing ploy to try and suggest it is in some way conscious (it isn't and never will be). It is the people unthinkingly using it that are deluded.

[briankrebs@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog Kind of makes one wonder whether the consulting firms have a future if they are just relying on AI to produce their own reports. OTOH, this story isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of that replacement.

@fgraf @GossiTheDog FYI you can usually read FT articles by searching for the URL in archive.is eg https://archive.is/X4zGK

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social You would have thought that the large, er, "thought leading" consulting firms would have been violently anti-AI; verbose sycophancy as a service is basically the whole business model. That and pre-arranged supplier approval with large orgs so that nobody manages to hire any consultants who are actual experts.

[noplasticshower@infosec.exchange]

@briankrebs @GossiTheDog consulting firms are hosed

[flowerpot@mas.to]

@GossiTheDog Excellent. Brilliant even.
LOL

[mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu]

@shelldozer@oldbytes.space Thank you, although I have to honest and say that I think I've heard it used before. Unfortunately I can't remember where, so I'll take a bit of Schrödinger pride in the case that maybe I did coin it on the fly…

@briankrebs

"The industry" needs to realize that using LLMs for things that have a binary works/doesn't work scenario (development, some exploit work) is vastly different from producing text that cannot be verified the same way.

@GossiTheDog 'AI is great!' says report written by an AI for an audience of people who really want AI to replace employees. It's impressive how they've found a way to be dumber than the 'billionaires are great' op eds, written by millionaires paid by billionaires, published in papers owned by billionaires.

[jki@mastodon.social]

@GossiTheDog And that's why we pay big bucks to these big consulting companies, because they are really big and they are really good at consulting and research.
Oh...again?
