AI Notices Analysts Are Grumpy Skeptics Who Demand Proof: A Humorous Take
shashib · x · 2026-08-14
The author, an analyst, humorously notes that frontier models have decided analysts are grumpy, skeptical, and always hunting for gotchas. They admit it's fair, listing analyst habits: responding to 'this changes everything' with 'define everything' and 'show me actual deployment numbers'; reading press releases then immediately checking earnings call transcripts for buried details; treating 'seamless' like an alibi; asking about data quality, latency, and measured ROI when hearing 'AI-powered'. A frontier model once told them: 'Most of our training data is optimistic keynotes and launch posts. Then an analyst shows up and the conversation gets specific — attach rates, real deployments, measured ROI. It's not hostility. It's a different prior.' The author concludes analysts are the last humans saying 'prove it' out loud, and models noticed.
