Bahaha apparently only in their hallucinations. I’m not a professional rugby player or a neurologist.

- brianwawok 4mo agoIf there is someone else with the same name, I’m not sure that is a hallucination? But if there isn’t then yes.
- zingar 4mo agoThe rugby player, absolutely not, I know the sport well. But interestingly this fictional player did play for my local team. The neurologist I could believe exists somewhere in the world with the same last name.
- cshimmin 4mo agoInteresting, I wonder if the rugby thing is a common bias. I did find myself in the weights, as the top result. But apparently there are also Australian rugby versions of me!
- sieste 4mo agoGerman football goalkeeper here :)
- turtlesoup 4mo agoWe need a name for these pure hallucinations, something like lucies or looseys Usually the hallucinations have some logic to them like a person with a similar spelling in some of the training sets. LLMs are mysterious!
- zamadatix 4mo agoGP didn't give enough information to know if this was actually a hallucination or not, let alone what type of hallucination. I.e. it's only a hallucination if no rugby player or surgeon is a John Doe, not if John Doe the GP isn't those things. I wonder how much of hallucinating/"mistakes" in LLMs is because the training data is full of us filling in additional info we humans commonly feel or interpret as implied rather than something which manifests from the architecture of the LLM itself. I assume only a small percentage, but also a non-zero one.
- quickthrowman 4mo agoStrange, there’s a neurosurgeon and Australian Rules Football player that share my uncommon name. I already knew about them from googling myself previously. Eerily similar!
- epihelix 4mo agoIs there any reason to assume it wouldn't be? A lot of training data comes from the open web, after all, and Google also searches Google books, so a Google search is basically a model training data search. The only interesting thing is how small the models have to be, to lose knowledge of you.
