The problem we're seeing across many professions is AI output is not getting vetted by knowledgeable people, whether it's an experienced analyst, senior engineer, expert attorney, or the resident physician.

You mean the people they fired and demoralized?

One of the things that "great [wo]men" like about "vibe-coding" (and that includes blindly producing non-code product), is that they, and they alone can now do what used to require the painful process of "passing it to context experts."

Now, the LLM is a "built-in context expert," and they don't need to vet the output anymore.

This proves (again) one think for sure: The "Big x" Consulting Firms were always BS - and now them generating all their work themselves using LLMs just profs that their 'clients' can just skip their Million Dollar fees and just ask the LLM directly.

What a horrible page to navigate

On mobile, It’s hijacking my scroll in such a way that I literally cannot move further down the page. And “reader mode” is only showing me the first paragraph or so. I’ll have to try again later on desktop. The content looks interesting but it’s literally impossible to read. I cannot get past the section that introduces Ernst and Young.

On desktop it keeps adding forced pauses to scrolling, of varying sizes, and you need to scroll down a between 1 and 10 pages worth to begin scrolling again.

It might "work" just fine on mobile (or not) but you may have stopped trying before reaching the point of re-scrolling, because it's insane.

Basically the entire consulting industry should die due to AI.

Performative executives of yesteryear that constantly need external validation and direction and operate through hive mind and groupthink are weak and will die.

I believe some of the biggest problems in today's business leaders are an inability to be open to new information, to think across traditional professional boundaries, or to ask meaningful questions.

AI simply exposes this unapologetically.

Bad management (this includes most government): up your game or get out of the way.

Sycophantic consultant firms: die.

The Economist should do an article on this.

If the main job is putting out a report, starting with AI is wrong in any case. What's the value of an AI-generated report, even if experts fix the biggest issues with it? Maybe this kind of report didn't have all that much value before, I don't know. But starting with AI just makes sure it's generic drivel.

I recommend just clicking and dragging the actual scrollbar on desktop for this one. Wild
