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

One minor problem: it turns they used AI to write the report, and it made up all of the evidence.

KPMG have now withdrawn the report in full.

@GossiTheDog Time between publication and the issues getting flagged… 😅
@Kensan A very old problem. Over a century ago, Mark Twain noted that a lie gets around the whole world before the truth can get its shoes on, and he wasn't by any means the first person to note that. I'd bet good money that some Ancient Greek wag said the same.
@wesdym @Kensan It'd have to be Diogenes - the guy lived in a pot.
