Author here. I'm sorry; I can't stop giggling at the image captions. It's my favorite part of the piece.

  The point on unannounced region launches seems to imply that Q is leaking information, but is there any evidence that this isn't just hallucinating?
  • QuinnyPig 3y ago
    No; it could easily go either way. The challenge is that an authoritative statement (y'know, most people don't assume that the marketing website is lying to them as a general rule) that a region launch is coming puts AWS themselves in a very uncomfortable position of having to either deny it, or remain silent and start getting inquiries from the region's governing bodies. It's just a mess. I don't know for a fact whether it was lying or leaking.

      LLMs don't lie, they are instead ALWAYS hallucinating. Sometimes those hallucinations will coincidentally match a fact from training data, but a LLM has no concept of truth. They are far more reliable when you restrict them to transforming information than when you allow them the latitude to generate it.

  I think your article makes plenty of valid points and was an interesting read. Given the number of times you pre-empt criticism, I suspect you’re aware you are being a little unfair on something that’s openly declared to be beta/preview. But equally you rightly observe that Amazon are pushing this as if it’s production ready!
