Yeah fuck these guys wasting our money on this hot garbage.
""The revelation comes on the heels of news last month that Deloitte leveraged AI in a $290,000 report published in July to help the Australian government crack down on welfare. But a researcher flagged hallucinations in the 237-page study, which included references to nonexistent academic research papers and a fabricated quote from a federal court judgment.
In the revised study, which was quietly uploaded to the Australian government’s website, the consulting firm admitted it had used the generative AI language system Azure OpenAI to help create the report.""
This is a ~1200$ per page report, from which I guarantee only 30 pages or so have actual content on it.
It's ok, we'll just cut cancer research, again.
