> What nobody seems to talk about is that their resulting models are basically garbage.
The post does talk about it when it briefly mentions that the goal of building the model (to decrease the number of cases investigated while increasing the rate of finding fraud) wasn't achieved. They don't say any more than that because that's not the point they are making.
Anyway, the project was shelved after a pilot. So your point is entirely false.
Good catch about the project being shelved. It is buried pretty deep in the document to the point of making it misleading:
> In late November 2023, the city announced that it would shelve the pilot.
I would agree that implications regarding the use of those models do not hold, but not the ones about their quality.
