"This is correct and also true of every recent AI paper (the METR slow-down study the Apple reasoning one) that casts doubt on AI's effectiveness. People are desperate to prove that LLMs don't work aren't useful etc. and don't really care how good the studies are. I think folks who know better esp on twitter are still underrating the extreme impact the MIT paper had about 95% of AI projects failing within enterprises.
