OK, I am reaching here... Suppose I am a representative for a civil engineering firm, and a contractor brings our company a design for a bridge. It ends up on my desk. The company will get more lucrative business from this contractor if this project is quickly approved and I will get a nice bonus, so I approve it. Then I e-mail by buddies and tell them what a POS design it was and if it stays up five years it will be a miracle. The bridge collapses and I issue an apology which, for some reason, the family of the deceased thinks is quite lame. (but I still get to keep the porshe) The analogy is weak, I know. But people thought when they took advice from ML, they were getting professional advice. Yeah, it could be wrong, but if so it was a mistake rather than deceit. I assume when I take advice of a professional, I am paying for their honest expert opinion, not what side deal they are profiting from. (OK, I don't really assume that. I don't trust anybody)
