I was excited for the recent advancements in AI, but seems the area has hit another wall. Seems it is best to be used for automating very simple tasks, or at best used as a guiding tool for professionals (ie, medicine, SWE, …)

Hallucinations is common for humans as well. It’s just people who believe they know stuff they really don’t know.

We have alternative safeguards in place. It’s true however that current llm generation has its limitations

Humans can recognize and account for their own hallucinations. LLMs can’t and never will.

They can’t… Most people strongly believe they know many things while they have no idea what they are talking about. Most known cases are flat earthers, qanon, no-vax.

But all of us is absolutely convince they know something until they found out they don’t.

That’s why double blind tests exists, why memories are not always trusts in trials, why Twitter is such an awful place
