The era of massive bs
‼️ Accenture, which sells AI consulting to big business, published a report on AI in Africa citing sources that don't exist.View quoted post on X
AI-detection firm GPTZero says 15 of its 89 citations are invented or spliced, including a "Southern Africa AgriTech Network" that doesn't appear to exist.
The report also ranks Ghana 47th on a global AI readiness index that puts it 141st.
Across three Accenture-linked papers, GPTZero found 31 fake citations. One links a deleted "FraudGPT" GitHub repo used to spread malware.
Accenture blames human error and will correct the report. It won't say how it ruled out AI.
