@bob Possible Alt-text: A Reddit post to r/analytics with heading “We just found out our Al has been making up analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna throw up.” The post goes on to say: “So we've been using an Al agent since November to answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations, everyone loved it. I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this entire time. Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing plausible sounding percentages. I only caught it by accident when someone asked me to double check something. I started digging, and holy shit, it's bad.”
