Summary: Today I'm cutting through the falsehood on two major AI headlines that have been doing the rounds. First up: that MIT study claiming AI can replace 11.7% of the US workforce? Complete misrepresentation. I actually dug into the research (because apparently journalists can't be bothered), and it's not about replacing workers at all—it's about skill exposure in specific industries like finance and healthcare. The study uses a simulation tool called the Iceberg Index that breaks jobs down into individual tasks and skills, not entire positions. But of course, CNBC and others ran with a sensational headline that suggests one in ten people are about to lose their jobs, which is utter nonsense. I break down exactly why the methodology doesn't support that claim and why we need to be way more critical when reading these headlines.

Then there's the absolutely hilarious news that Deloitte got caught—again—just running client questions through ChatGPT and charging them a million quid for "expert consultation." This is the second time this year, which is frankly embarrassing for them and probably terrifying for the entire consultancy industry. I reckon this is the beginning of the end for these massive advisory firms because why would anyone pay eye-watering fees when they could just use AI themselves?

Also covered: Chinese parents using AI assistants to monitor their kids' homework, which sounds dystopian but actually opens up some fascinating possibilities for personal trainers, posture correction, and focus coaching. Lots to unpack in this one.
