#FDA employees say the agency's #Elsa #GenerativeAI #hallucinates entire studies

Excerpt: "The CNN investigation highlighting these flaws with the FDA's #ArtificialIntelligence arrived on the same day as the White House introduced an #AIActionPlan. The program presented AI development as a technological arms race that the US should win at all costs, and it laid out plans to remove 'red tape and onerous regulation' in the sector. It also demanded that AI be free of 'ideological bias,' or in other words, only following the biases of the current administration by removing mentions of #ClimateChange, #misinformation, and diversity, equity and inclusion [#DEI] efforts. Considering each of those three topics has a documented impact on #PublicHealth, the ability of tools like #Elsa to provide genuine benefits to both the FDA and to US patients looks increasingly doubtful."

AI Overviews hallucinates that Airbus, not Boeing, involved in fatal Air India crash

Google’s disclaimer says AI “may include mistakes,” which is an understatement.

Ars Technica
@nixCraft Is it a hallucinates, or is it a corporation trying to protect Boeing?

That is the question.

People think everything is great until the #llama spits / #AI #hallucinates 🙂

I really appreciate #Bing's #Search AI because it cites as opposed to #Google's #Bard and #OpenAI. This makes it somewhat usable for me. I can't trust one of these large #LLMs to tell me the truth otherwise.

In fact, I've repeatedly asked OpenAI for web resources / books related to specific topics and it invariably #hallucinates them.

(imho, a primary school student who didn't cite sources wouldn't be allowed this excuse in a paper)

Google explains why Bard rarely lists citations and links to content creators

Google said it will link to citations when Bard directly quote at length from a webpage.
