Do LLMs knowingly make mistakes?
Do we sue scientists for unintentional procedural errors?
- danaris 4mo agoThis isn't about what the LLM knows. No one's trying to hold a computer liable. This is about what Google knows. And Google knows perfectly well that LLMs hallucinate all the time. They will provide incorrect information, confidently and often. Which is why this whole article is explicitly about holding Google accountable.
- Robotbeat 4mo agoYou honestly think Google is intentionally giving wrong answers??? Google would love to have a perfect oracle that never makes mistakes! Maybe German courts can conjure one up.
- danaris 4mo agoThe choices are not between "perfect oracle that never makes mistakes" and "hallucinated AI overviews". Google 100% has the choice not to include AI overviews. Which they know are often false. It would mean egg on their face, to be sure, but would it even meaningfully impact revenue?
