    Refunding is far from enough, there should be a fine of at least twice that for fraudulent work.

    Refund? No criminal charges for fraud or anything like that? It's gonna keep happening if no one gets punished for it.

      And a partial refund at that.

      Better option would be to require the senior Deloitte partners and manager to do real community service program (live-in junior janitor at homeless shelter or a hospice) for 6 months (with an assets freeze for the duration of community service).

        It’s ridiculous. The fact that a significant part of the report was clearly fraudulent calls into question the merit of the entire report. How could anyone take it seriously after finding dozens of fraudulent sources? They should sue to recover 100% of what was paid.

    It will keep happening, LLMs are the perfect tools for those huge meat grinding consulting companies, their industry is all about looking good, not factual quality, just like LLMs.

      At very least, they should be banned from bidding on Australian government contracts for a couple of years.

      If a doctor did this, they’d lose their license to practice.

        You wish. Doctors do worse than this all the time. Sure, not in formal papers submitted to a government, but so many GPs will blame every problem on someone being fat or diabetic or insert random trivial knowledge they retained from school instead of using actual critical thinking skills…

        Many doctors do not deserve their licenses.

    AI will replace jobs!

    … Maybe. But not a lot. And as long as they try, stuff like this will keep happening.

      AI will create jobs, millions of jobs, for intelligent people to sift through the AI slop searching for pearls. It will become harder every year, so they will always need more people to do it. It’s unclear what happens when the AI slop outpaces humanity’s ability to filter it. I guess we can call it “the technological singularity nobody wanted”.

        The bubble will eventually burst and AI will mostly disappear.

        There are no pearls. It’s uniform, blenderized raw sewage.
