Deloitte allegedly cited AI-generated research in a million-dollar report for a Canadian provincial government - Divisions by zero

Not the first time they were caught.

Whew.

The thing about these incidents that I find most interesting is that they basically reveal a widely held suspicion among many people that these government contractors are over-crexentialed bullshit artists.

This just shows what we’ve all suspected: they’ve been cutting corners, claiming underserved authority, and making up shit for years. But now some folks are checking and reporting on it.

I think these consulting firms exist to help the upper/top management to embezzle money and to shield them from personal responsibility (“Deloite said so, I could only follow this industry standard guidance, don’t ask me why every project has crashed, lol”).
Look how well that worked out for Arthur Anderson
