sorry but I see incorrect AI responses almost every day in things I query on Google, generally because I am often querying on something I am an expert in and I just want a linking source. There will be a good link in the result, generally, but the AI almost always messes up some elemental fact, sometimes it is because the AI has "misunderstood" what I asked which is reasonable, but most of the time the result shows that it has "understood" what I said but there will be a statement of fact that is just wrong.
- threethirtytwo 3mo agoOf course but for obvious mistakes like this one it’s more likely a human hallucinated than an LLM
- red75prime 3mo agoThe AI you are talking about is a low-inference-cost model optimized for massive throughput. It's not like every model has the same amount of those shortcomings.
- bryanrasmussen 3mo agoI apologize for having generalized from a specific AI to all, given that the comment I replied to made a claim regarding all AI.
- red75prime 3mo agoSomeone says "cars are so comfortable now." Someone else responds "In my experience they are no better than in the 80s." Isn't it prudent to point that the second person drives Mirage or something like that? The first sentence seems to imply the average state. No?
- bryanrasmussen 3mo agoI guess, if a Mirage is one of the most common cars that everyone encounters multiple times in a day. The problem really is I haven't used these other AIs for finding links to things I am an expert in, so I cannot really say how likely they are to get things completely wrong, or at least have one wrong or misinterpreted fact per response.
