AI transcription tools 'hallucinate,' too
- ashryan 3y agoWhile I haven't seen any transcription hallucinations that were concerning like those mentioned in the article, I did just become aware of this phenomenon tonight when my 7yo daughter was asking ChatGPT voice chat questions about birds. === Daughter: Did cats prey on the Dodo birds' eggs? ChatGPT: Yes, cats, along with other introduced animals like rats and pigs, did prey on dodo eggs. [continues] Daughter: Thank you for watching and please don't forget to like, share, and subscribe! ChatGPT: You're welcome! It sounds like you're wrapping up a video. I hope it goes well! If you have any more questions or need further information in the future, feel free to ask. Happy sharing! === That second question is nowhere in the ballpark of what she asked, which was something about birds evolving into dinosaurs. I found it super interesting that the transcription seemed to... hallucinate on rails (?) into a perfect sentence that had nothing to do with what was said as opposed to—if it couldn't make sense of the utterance—a garbled sentence that attempted to match the sounds verbatim.
