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.

None of this would happen if people recognized that, at best, AI has the intelligence level of a child. It has a lot of knowledge (some of which is hallucinated, but that's besides the point) but none of the responsibility that you'd hope an adult would have. It's also not capable of learning from its own mistakes or being careful.
There's a whole market for child safety stuff: corner foam, child-proof cabinet locks, power plug covers, etc.... You want all of that in your system if you let the AI run loose.
AI does not hallucinate, since it has no conciousness or thinking.
Exactly, They’re just probabilistic models. LLMs are just outputting something that statistically could be what comes next. But that statistical process does not capture any real meaning or conceptualization, just vague associations of when words are likely to show up, and what order they’re likely to show up in.
What people call hallucinations are just the system functional capability diverging from their expectation of what it is doing. Expecting it to think and understand, when all it is doing is outputting a statistically likely continuation.
