Every citation created by chat gpt will be hallucinated. It knows what they look like. It doesn’t know what they are.
It doesn’t actually “know” anything. It is a statistical engine for generating the next reasonable looking word.
- rgoulter 3y agoI asked an LLM "during the day, what colour is the sky?", and it told me the sky is typically blue, and that this has to do with sunlight scattering as it enters our atmosphere. I think it's worth using "hallucinate" to more precisely refer to inaccurate content. I'd think of this in the same sense as a false-positive from some test result. I like the term "bullshit" when used to mean "made without regard to the truth".
