""An LLM is not the colleague who critically evaluates current ideas, looks into the contextual specifics, stress-tests assumptions, and pushes back when everyone gets comfortable.""
""Instead of righting the ship, these consultants created just an impression of value, an illusion of helpfulness and little else, all while the government and private companies burned money to hire them.""
Consultants emerged in a post-Reagan era, creating an illusion of value without solving institutional issues. Mazzucato and Collington argue that consultants exacerbate dysfunction in both government and private sectors. AI, while a cheaper alternative, may not provide better guidance. Research shows AI models often rely on buzzwords rather than contextually relevant advice, a phenomenon termed 'trendslop.' This raises concerns about the effectiveness of AI in providing meaningful insights compared to human consultants.
