The DEWR “continues to investigate these claims and has sought urgent advice from Deloitte on these matters”.
Pain. I am experiencing pain. Physical, mental, and spiritual pain. Oof. Ow. My soul.
This is a theory I had put forward before: Made-up (but plausible-sounding) sources are probably one of the few reliable “AI detectors.” Lazy people would not normally bother to come up with something like this themselves.
- Its probably the most reliable AI detector there is.
  Even if someone's actively misrepresenting statistics/sources to push some kind of grift, those underlying stats/sources are near-certainly going to be genuine if they aren't using AI - not out of any moral obligation, but because made-up stats/sources will get their entire grift thrown out if they're discovered.

  I believe it is not just that. Making up some of those references as a human (in a way that sounds credible) would require quite a lot of effort and creativity. I think this is a case where the AI actually performs “excellently” at a task that is less than useless in practice.
Lazy fucking cunts.
How come I can't get paid $400k to spit out some AI slop
