Academics raise alarm over suspected AI use in Deloitte report The university staff members say there were numerous citation errors in the report on the automation of welfare penalties.

Is this what the AI era is going to be like?

A big four consultancy (Deloitte) does a major report for govt then says "oh we just got the names, dates and publishers" of many of the works cited WRONG. No biggie.
