Leading consulting firm Deloitte recently produced a report for a government project (likely) using AI, which contained numerous factual errors and fabricated citations. They charged about $440,000 for this. What does this mean for the future of this "expert consulting" business line?


The hand-drawn art market is currently avoiding AI artwork by demanding "proof of process" such as polaroids/pictures of the painting as it is painted on the canvas, sketched and illustrated, etc.

I think the result of this will be "proof of process" similar to work drafts as artifacts proving human generation.
