We have to stop ignoring AI’s hallucination problem - Sopuli

“We invented a new kind of calculator. It usually returns the correct value for the mathematics you asked it to evaluate! But sometimes it makes up wrong answers for reasons we don’t understand. So if it’s important to you that you know the actual answer, you should always use a second, better calculator to check our work.”

Fantastic comment, from the article.

It’s a nascent stage technology that reflects the world’s words back at you in statistical order by way parsing user generated prompts. It’s a reactive system with no autonomy to deviate from a template upon reset. It’s no Rokos Basilisk inherently, just because

Not random, moreso probabilistic, which is almost the same thing granted.
