Why would you sully the only thing you really have, your reputation, with a stupid ass shortcut and not even bother to check to make sure it’s at least factual. This screams some c-level dickhead mandating AI use because it’s the hot new thing without actually understanding anything at all.
Businessmen gonna “business”.
I applied to them once, six-seven years ago I think. They had an open position that fit my profile.
I have never been so retrospectively delighted about a rejection. Not only do I enjoy my current job a lot more than I expected, I’m also glad I dodged that particular bullet.
The same PWC that lets companies buy awards?
And of course TechSpot posts this very story illustrated with an AI slop picture of a guy with a robot, because no human could possibly draw such a thing for them.
At this point it isn’t AI slop, it’s got to be major Fraud by PWC. They were paid for in depth meticulous analyses, and instead, they just asked their drunk uncle AI, who claims to know everything, but really just has the knack to BS a halfway believeable answer.
Why are these companies still operational?
There’s only one big accounting firm left, what are you going to do, fire them?
To be fair, AI slop is probably higher quality information than the “in depth meticulous analyses” these kind of clowns have been peddling for thousands of dollars for the past 40+ years.
Plausible deniability in a can. Same shit, different day.
This is the end-point of capitalism: the ultra-wealthy just allowed to run these organizations and only pay an utterly negligible fee for their transgressions.
It’s going to keep happening and more and more often, because the oligarchs have finally completely taken over the global political theatre. Without a global revolution from the workers, we will end up going backwards and undoing everything.
This kind of slop for research has been passed around for decades. In the 1990s I read a “corporate intelligence report” on a company I was working for, it was 90% incorrect and 40% far far off target. Over the years I had several occasions to read and check these kinds of business research reports and they’d rarely even get the things that were published in the quarterly reports right, anything beyond that kind of public information was a lot of speculation, most of it wrong.
Again. There has been at least 2 other instances.
…that we know of.
not at all surprised. another of the big four got caught in australia and had to refund fees charged.
Cry me a river. These kinds of “business intelligence” reports have been overpriced, near zero value slop since they started publishing them (a long long time ago.)

Strategic Investigations and multi site analysis, cross referenced with some other made up shit, reveals that this was statistically unlikely.
