As posted

Every AI deployment story this month came from the company deploying it. LUBA, Acrisure, Mosaic, VIPR, Patra, every one a company release or a company statement in trade coverage, with no independent verification and no measured result.

That is not a complaint about the companies. It is the reason our captions say "as stated," never "as shown", and the reason to forward this to the colleague who just got a vendor pitch.
