Cynicism is the only worldview that guarantees you’ll never be wrong -
because you’ll never risk being right.

The cynic always wins the argument.

And loses everything else.

Ideas aren't born in pristine originality. They explode when a familiar pattern is bent at just the right angle. And if that bothers you, ask yourself, would you rather clinging to a fantasy about being original or actually make something that people can't stop talking about?

The image shows a woman sitting at a desk with a laptop, notebook, and a cup of coffee in her hand. She appears relaxed, dressed casually in beige pants and a white top.

The biggest problem here isn't that they used ChatGPT or anything else.

The problem is that they clearly don't have a culture of quality, or a culture of checking their work, or a culture of giving a s**t about their customers.

If they cared, this crap wouldn't happen.

A screenshot of an article from the Financial Review website titled “Deloitte to refund government, admits using AI in $440k report,” written by Edmund Tadros and Paul Karp on October 5, 2025. The article states that Deloitte Australia will issue a partial refund to the federal government after admitting that AI was used to create a $440,000 report containing multiple errors, including three nonexistent academic references and a fabricated quote from a Federal Court judgment. A portion of the text mentioning “littered with errors including three nonexistent academic references” is highlighted in blue.
