AI hallucinations are getting worse – and they're here to stay

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, sure. No offense. I mean we have different humans as well. I got friends who will talk about a subject and they've read some article about it and they'll tell me a lot of facts and I rarely see them make any mistakes at all or confuse things. And then I got friends who like to talk a lot, and I better check where they picked that up.
I think I'm somewhere in the middle. I definitely make mistakes. But sometimes my brain manages to store where I picked something up and whether that was speculation, opinion or fact, along with the information itself. I've had professors who would quote information verbatim and tell roughly where and in which book to find it.
With AI I'm currently very cautious. I've seen lots of confabulated summaries, made-up facts. And if designed to, it'll write it in a professional tone. I'm not opposed to AI or a big fan of some applications either. I just think it's still very far away from what I've seen some humans are able to do.
