gatherer of network lint, occasional potsmaster, he/him, though I should switch to they/them just to make the usage more familiar to people (profile images: a butterfly among leaf litter; mouse sculpture (with seed offerings) at a Kyoto shrine; don’t know how to add alt. text to these images)

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.”
