miskWe have to stop ignoring AI’s hallucination problem
ALostInquirerWhy do tech journalists keep using the businesses’ language about AI, such as “hallucination”, instead of glitching/bugging/breaking?
superminerJGhallucination refers to a specific bug (AI confidently BSing) rather than all bugs as a whole
Isn’t it more accurate to say it’s outputting incorrect information from a poorly processed prompt/query?
No, because it’s not poorly processing anything. It’s not even really a bug. It’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do, spit out words in the “shape” of an appropriate response to whatever was just said
When I wrote, “processing”, I meant it in the sense of getting to that “shape” of an appropriate response you describe. If I’d meant this in a conscious sense I would have written, “poorly understood prompt/query”, for what it’s worth, but I see where you were coming from.
BlackmistHonestly, it’s the most human you’ll ever see it act.
It’s got upper management written all over it.
