That'd be a great use of AI, just use it and don't bother paying Deloitte
Tax payer saved billions

Only a Partial refund? They should charge them for having to mark their own work. I can't wait until the PS is rebuilt enough not to rely on these charlatans

It's an interesting precedent. I've used AI several times in my job. Even for a government client. My prompts tend to be 'give me a demo function that does x' so that I can see how to do a thing. It's usually quicker than Stack Overflow, but still requires human oversight - it often gets things wrong.
But yeah - just using AI to do work: If that leads to being unacceptable to some clients/government departments, workers are going to be doing their jobs without the latest and most efficient tools. I think my situation is different to Deloitte's, because I didn't give the client what the AI spat out. It looks like they did.

These consultant companies are all just a bunch of wafflers who spit out garbage.
You are much better off going down to the local pub, shouting a round of drinks and asking the punters for political direction.
