> Hallucinations have been reduced. Do you have any studies or data to back this up other than "trust us" from the companies pushing the models? And how much "reduced". It is still a fundamental issue that is just being pushed under the rug since it is inconvenient for them to talk about anymore. > There are, in fact, reasoning models. Simulated (fake) reasoning models. They are still fundamentally LLM's talking to itself which goes back to the fundamental issue of hallucination and a complete inability for anything original. Also this "reasoning" has been shown in multiple studies to fall flat on its face with complex issues because it is not true reasoning. There is no intelligence or "thinking" behind it. > The "ifs" are not as theoretical as you imply. My reason for saying it is because it always seems when someone is critical of claims being made the response is 1 of 2 things. 1. Trying to ignore the concerns and just say that it can already do X, its magic, its whatever. Or 2. It is all about the promise. All about what it may supposedly one day be able to do "if" we can just fix this one thing that isn't somehow a huge fundamental issue.
