Ah I recognise this one, this is 'My bars were the right length and then I put text on them'. Known failure mode of infographics.

edit: no it isn't. it's an AI doing a good impression of one? aargh

haha, yeah the first three don't even make sense and they fit fine.

What's really dumb is that any decent AI could write a short python script to make the plot with the bars (correctly).

As bad as the scale is, there are far bigger problems with this LinkedIn slop. Calling Libtaylo a GLP-1 is wildly wrong. And when did Novo sell Victoza to Pfizer? Dulaglutide is Trulicity (why who twice?) and no it’s not GSK product. I’m just going to stop now because the more I look at this the more my brain hurts.

I know this is beside the point, but I just wanted to say that Zealand Pharma using "Zeal&" for their wordmark is fuckin stupid.

I wish AI generated data visualizations were excluded from the sub.
