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

@GossiTheDog Ironically, if it stops people relying on biased KPMG analysis that would be fairly transformative

@That_Damn_Frank @GossiTheDog unlikely, sadly, because it has done its job. More likely they will get their sales bonus. Lots of business development, lots of new 'AI' clients because 'UBS uses AI', zero publicity or admission outside of bubbles like ours about how the whole thing was a fraud.

Similar to the UK's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) telling a company to 'not show an ad again' that is clearly misleading. There is no obligation to issue a retraction or to apply anything like the same publicity to the fact it was a lie, just a tacit admission that _that exact ad_ won't run again. (A similar, equally misleading ad will of course be hot on its heels.)

@GossiTheDog Ironically makes it a very good report on the state of the industry after AI.

@bouriquet @compliance @GossiTheDog Don’t forget: AI is generating the snackable summaries as well

100% what they wanted. Says they pulled the report from "some" of their websites. So they appease some skeptics and fools. Rinse repeat, and soon the lies are homogenized.

Similar to AI spitting out art-slop for prints 24/7/365 and putting it in front of people to find out what is ignored or accepted. Then deleting the art-slop least shared or sold.

A KPMG report on how Al is being used by businesses across the world exaggerated adoption of the technology with bogus case studies that appear to have been based on AI hallucinations.
The October report, "Redefining excellence in the age of agentic AI", made numerous false claims about the use of AL by organisations including the Swiss bank UBS, the UK's National Health Service and the public transit groups Swiss Federal Railways and Transport for London.
The inaccuracies were identified as AI hallucinations by the research group GPTZero and verified by the FT. After being alerted to the issue, UBS said it would ask KPMG to remove the false claims, and the Big Four firm on Thursday pulled the report from some of its websites.
The discovery is the latest in a number of apparent AI hallucinations in reports by professional services firms and follows EY's retraction of a study last month over fake footnotes and other errors identified by GPTZero.
The KPMG report claimed global wealth manager UBS "integrates Al agents across investment advisory, risk management and compliance monitoring".

OK. What's a good business name that somehow involves "Derp" and/or "Herp" that offers boutique sycophancy services that don't use AI?

Herp de Derp Enterprises doesn't AI.

What's a good rate? Should it charge by the hour or by ego milestone?

You think there would be a good market pairing with "Derpdy Dew Lawn Services"? Maybe a package deal?

@mavnn @GossiTheDog I quote tooted your post, but it's still telling me you have to approve showing the quote.

From the article:
"Hallucinations are a growing problem across the professional services. Elite law firm Sullivan & Cromwell also admitted in April that a filing it submitted in a bankruptcy case contained numerous AI-generated inaccuracies, including misreadings [sic] of the US bankruptcy code."

I'm sorry, #WTH ?! I couldn't open the link.
