Lying implies intent. I don't think the GPT models are purposely telling you misinformation.
That's why we call them hallucinations. Because they model "thinks" it is telling the truth.
- JohnFen 3y ago"Hallucination" is a term that is just as problematic as "lying", for the same reason. Both terms imply a cognition that just isn't happening. The model doesn't "think" it's telling the truth. It doesn't "think" at all, at least in that sense. Nor does it "believe" or "disbelieve" anything. A better term than "lying" or "hallucination" would be "erroneous".
