“Tech experts are starting to doubt that ChatGPT and A.I. ‘hallucinations’ will ever go away: ‘This isn’t fixable’”

More accurately, AI researchers have always said that this isn’t fixable but y’all were too obsessed with listening to con artists to pay attention but now the con is wearing thin. https://fortune.com/2023/08/01/can-ai-chatgpt-hallucinations-be-fixed-experts-doubt-altman-openai/

Tech experts are starting to doubt that ChatGPT and A.I. ‘hallucinations’ will ever go away: ‘This isn’t fixable’

Experts are starting to doubt it, and even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is a bit stumped.

I'll be quietly over here getting my work done 20 times faster with language models while everyone can't figure out if they are good or not.

It's a tool. It speeds up certain workflows I have. It also has weaknesses and introduces new attack vectors and error types. We also have not fully explored what we can do with them yet.

But as a 'search' for certain types of exploration of documents it blows traditional search engines out of the water, and you can stack functions to create more complex output.

Most people should probably daily drive them on non critical projects to understand what they can and can't do.

@BlueBee @baldur it's just the hype cycle. Eventually people will realise it's somewhere in the middle. It won't get rid of whole sectors of the economy but it also can be good when effectively applied.
@jfrench @BlueBee @baldur if by "somewhere in the middle" you mean untrained and untrainable intern accuracy, probably

Where are you getting this from? It's extremely capable when it comes to learning about how a library works. Much faster than documentation alone.
