K don't understand what has happened here. Please help me.
One of my jobs was crunching data for senior management reports. A job that would be automated today. Producing metrics implies you are transforming raw numbers into meaningful trends and forecasts.
Where was the invention? Was it in the input or transformation? Both should have guardrails. In other words the ai could, for instsnce, be using the wrong statistical analysis to produce the wrong results. But that's an error not an hallucination. People do it too.
I've had hallucinations but if you require ai to show sources you soon spot made-up stuff. Trouble is when the sources are unchecked ai generated (ai slop). That's just beginning.
