You raise a great point then make a toxic, adversarial stance. Good debugging is possibly the next breakthrough for AI. AI can "90%" achieve many goals, but because it's a black box with its own mind, the remaining "10%" required by humans is almost or beyond 100% the effort of doing everything manually. Good debugging which would make AI less black box, could be the key to human+AI processes that produce something, as high or higher quality than human-alone do, but with less effort. People (including managers) aren't ignoring hallucinations. Marketers try to gloss over them, but the top AI companies internally work very hard and test their models. Because even from a pure financial perspective, they know that if they keep stalling eventually money will run out, whereas if they achieve something really useful the rewards will be astronomical even compared to what they have now. We see obvious hallucinations today not because people don't care, but because they're a hard problem to solve. Remember that 5 years ago even generating coherent-sounding responses was hard. Specific hallucinations are obvious, but like how there are specific programs that obviously halt or don't, the general problem is much much harder.
