KPMG pulls report on AI usage due to apparent hallucinations (techcrunch.com)

> Professional services firm KPMG has pulled a report titled, “Redefining excellence in the age of agentic AI,”

Well they were true to their word about demonstrating a new and increasingly relevant definition of "excellence."

The crazy thing is the level of effort to say, "have a sub agent validate all references and figures" is so low. I'm paraphrasing, but you don't need much more than that. It would have prevented 99% of the face palms.

I use this regularly for my personal financial research system. Even flagship models make mistakes. Though currently the issue is usually the model using a figure from and older report. Cross-check reduces that dramatically.

Eh.. without going into too many details, having seen some face palms at work, I realized that the anecdotes may be closer to a pattern than I would like to believe, which prompted me to start basic howtos available company-wide.

I kinda get it, without experience and trying, how are they to know ( unless they are already 'into it')? After all, corporate training is laughable at best.
