@Lazarou I don't get how LLMs are needed for analytics? This field is basically about counting numbers, statistics magic and visualization. Isn't it?
I mean, asking an LLM what kind of statistical sorcery would be needed to measure this and that and ask it for a small python script will probably work (if you double check everything). But what did they do, to come to a situation where an LLM makes up data for months?

Wonder if Trump uses AI to generate statistics about the US economy

@Lazarou
I wish they'd stop calling it "#AI".It isn't. Not even close. I went to college to study #AI decades ago.
What they are calling "AI" today is nothing more than "deep database scrubbing".
It *assumes* an answer is correct based simply on the number of results it finds supporting that conclusion.
#GIGO: Garbage In; Garbage Out.
@MugsysRapSheet @Lazarou Garbage in Garbage out is such an old principle in computing and yet it's only now we're really seeing it's effects.

@Lazarou As a CEO (which I am not) I would be happy, if there were still persons in my company, who are not totally relying on LLMs.

@agasramirez Sounds like a "decision " made by an LLM.

@flxtr @Lazarou I've seen a ton of analysis reports done by agents and just trusted with little or no verification, looking for wrong database lock strategy, to reasons for errors in logs to data quality issues. It would not surprise me at all that someone pointed an agent at a database or something like crystal reports or even just a bunch of spreadsheets and asked it to summarise them based on a list of KPI, the results would genuinely be that bad without a bunch of hard work.

@Lazarou meanwhile my ceo
@agasramirez @Lazarou If everybody should be using AI, it seems weird that he suggests meeting one-on-one to discuss it.
I recently went to a Microsoft seminar for work. They were full-on “everything is AI now” which I had no interest in. So I found the only breakout sessions WITHOUT AI.
What I found was a much smaller group of people attending and the people leading the sessions actually knew WTF they were doing and I got a lot of one-on-one time with the experts.

@peterbosch66 @Lazarou missed a trick here. In the last panel it should've been "Eleventy Nine" studies
