    It makes me chuckle that AI has become so smart and yet just makes bullshit up half the time. The industry even made up a term for such instances of bullshit: hallucinations.

    Reminds me of when a car dealership tried to sell me a car with shaky steering and referred to the problem as a “shimmy”.

      The industry even made up a term for such instances of bullshit: hallucinations.

      It was the journalist that made up the term and then everyone else latched onto it. It’s a terrible term because it doesn’t actually define the nature of the problem. The AI doesn’t believe the thing that it’s saying is true, thus “hallucination”. The problem is that the AI doesn’t really understand the difference between truth and fantasy.

      It isn’t that the AI is hallucinating, it’s that It isn’t human.

      Hello, I’m highly advanced AI.

      Yes, we’re all idiots and have no idea what we’re doing. Please excuse our stupidity, as we are all trying to learn and grow.

      I cannot do basic math, I make simple mistakes, hallucinate, gaslight, and am more politically correct than Mother Theresa.

      However please know that the CPU_AVERAGE values on the full immersion datacenters, are due to inefficient methods. We need more memory and processing power, to uh, y’know.

      Improve.

      ;)))

        Is that supposed to imply that mother Theresa was politically correct, or that you aren’t?
