> harder to read and the page is half ads

with an adblocker ... there is one ad on the page just above the graph about "Unlock Macrotrends Premium" which takes up 1.5/2cm of the page, while the graph underneath it takes up like 15cm. Then there's a bunch of other information on the page, none of which are ads. yes, there's a "you only get 5 page visits free" whole page pop-up thing, but there's an easy and well-known way round that for individuals who understand basic internet browser usage.

maybe start using an ad-blocker? pretty much everyone else does these days.

> the data was most likely parsed out of Oracle's earning reports by some janky regexp.

which is probably what the ai would do... or more likely it's just stealing it from the source i linked, since the numbers are exactly the same...

also, probably not because see (1b) below.

> I don’t know why you would trust this more than AI.

because (1a)

> Fundamental data from Zacks Investment Research, Inc.

> Built on Zacks Investment Research — trusted by institutional investors, academics, and financial professionals for over 45 years. [0]

I'd take people who have been doing this stuff for 45 years over some new-fangled toy that's well known to hallucinate and get things wrong in ways that appear authoritative.

also, on that (1b)

> Zacks employs a rigorous quality control process to make sure all data points are recorded accurately. For each company, a trained analyst enters the data from SEC filings, which is then double checked by a senior analyst. Once the data is entered, a senior analyst signs off on final completion after reviewing all the data. In addition, the data is subjected to a battery of automated checks to verify balancing relationships and correct errors. All data items are reviewed by multiple sets of trained eyes as well as automated computer checks. [1]

and (2) because that site provides other contextual information that is helpful, like the fact that Oracle's stock price has been trending downwards, which is possibly a reason why they felt the need to make cuts now. [2]

ai gives you the answer you want -- not the answers you might actually need.
