Summary

Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
AI models can’t find basic stats. Big companies pretend they’re surprised. UNICEF does a test. Results are bad. Everyone says they’ll fix it.
Another AI breakthrough, just like the last one. Same old problems, new hype cycle.
It’s not that the AI is broken. It’s that the data is messy. Or maybe the AI is just lazy.
They’ll probably add a “data verification” feature in the next update. Just like last time.
Original observation: AI is just a fancy calculator that can’t read a spreadsheet.
