When Media Outlets Copy/Paste Each Other's Lies
Late last year, a study released by MIT attempted to track what skills AI tools could perform, and calculated the "wage value" of those skills.
Media outlets cherry-picked a statistic from the study and used it in EXACTLY the way that the authors of the study asked for it not to be used. Headlines splashed across the internet, "AI Can Already Do 11.7% of U.S. Jobs."
No, that's not what the study said, and unfortunately, this sort of lazy, clickbait reporting is not uncommon.
