Is anyone shipping AI products that DO NOT contain hallucinations? I thought that was pretty much a given.

- jarofghosts 3y agoHallucinating is roughly how they work, we just label it as such when it's something obviously weird

- thewataccount 3y agoThis is something I'm not sure people understand. LLM's only make a "best guess" for each next token. That's it. When it's wrong we call it a "hallucination" but really the entire thing was a "hallucination" to begin with. This is also analogous to humans - who also "hallucinate" incorrect answers, usually "hallucinate" incorrect answers less when they "Think through this step by step before giving your answer", etc.
- thewataccount 3y agoWell there isn't a human that never "hallucinates" in meaning we use for LLMs aka gives "incorrect answers" confidently. Human's brains use lots of heuristics - we don't "think step by step" through everything - instead we rapidly construct an answer for almost everything. What we say is "hallucinations" for AI in humans is "misspeaking, misremembering anything, off by 1 math/counting, missidentifying someone, using the wrong variable/method when programming, etc."
