I’m fairly sure PWC isn’t exactly impartial here. Consulting firms have been battered by AI. LLMs are about as good at consulting as 30-year olds in suits which is a big risk for them.

Of course it does, and only they can tell you how to do it.

That depends. AI replaces consultants that just make up slop that feels good. Consultants that annalyze things in depth can't be replaced by ai slop though. I've seen both.

Consulting as a business is fundamentally flawed. Big4 generally send people without real world experience but equipped with lots of current buzzwords. There’s only so much you can do without being truly embedded in a company and the fact that consultants rarely bear any responsibility for their advice means they don’t care about outcomes that much.

Not all consulting firms, Deloitte actually charged the Australian government about $290.000 for a report written by AI.
