Claims from this post (2)

In the order they appear in the post. Each quotation is the speaker’s words in this post. A label such as “Supported” or “Can’t be checked” is the claim’s current assessment; its page has the evidence and the reasons.

  1. Assessment: UnresolvedSaid

    “And schoolchildren using ChatGPT to do their homework aren’t enough to cover that.”

    What we tested: Schoolchildren using ChatGPT to do their homework are not enough to cover OpenAI's immense costs and cash burn.

  2. Assessment: SupportedSaid

    “GenAI certainly sounds amazing – but it hasn’t always worked well enough to justify the costs.”

    What we tested: Generative AI has not always worked well enough to justify its costs.

    What happened: The January–June research reports invested resources without returns in some organizations, supporting the modest existence claim. August 20 is a conservatively confirmed public-availability date; this assessment does not endorse the report's population-wide percentage. (Project NANDA report authors; copy hosted by MLQ, )
