“Yes,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai admitted on 60 Minutes interview Sunday, saying they’re “expected.” “No one in the field has yet solved the hallucination problems. All models do have this issue.”
When asked if the hallucination problem will be solved in the future, Pichai noted “it’s a matter of intense debate,” but said he thinks his team will eventually “make progress.”
Google’s chatbot, Bard, is part of a revolutionary wave of artificial intelligence (A.I.) being developed that can rapidly generate anything from an essay on William Shakespeare to rap lyrics in the style of DMX. But Bard and all of its chatbot peers still have at least one serious problem—they sometimes make stuff up.
The latest evidence of this unwelcome tendency was displayed during CBS’ 60 Minutes on Sunday. The Inflation Wars: A Modern History by Peter Temin “provides a history of inflation in the United States” and discusses the policies that have been used to control it, Bard confidently declared during the report. The problem is the book doesn’t exist.
It’s an interesting lie by Bard—because it could be true. Temin is an accomplished MIT economist who studies inflation and has written over a dozen books on economics, he just never wrote one called The Inflation Wars: A Modern History. Bard “hallucinated” that, as well as names and summaries for a whole list of other economics books in response to a question about inflation.
Chatbots like Bard and ChatGPT use large language models, or LLMs, that leverage billions of data points to predict the next word in a string of text. This method of so-called generative A.I. tends to produce hallucinations in which the models generate text that appears plausible, yet isn’t factual. But with all the work being done on LLMs, are these types of hallucinations still common?

That explains it! Joe Biden is a chatbot!
Let’s just call it Fake Intelligence
👌 WOW...
Your post #7
Just Blew my Mind !
Thanks.
Sadly, It is true.
Oh...Like Biden? or CNN? or MSNBC, or the NYT? or.....
Fake News gets replaced by AI!
Nothing intelligent at all about it - its programmers are leftists so the AI lies to you. All you get back is liberal clap trap, same as todays search algorithims.
You are right about clap trap. Doing simple searches now leads to tons of 'information' that is unhelpful and far from the finite information you were searching for. Ask yourself what is more accurate and easier, doing a Google search for restaurants in a specific area - which leads to sponsored answers from Yelp, Uber Eats, Trip Advisor etc., OR looking up restaurants the old way in the Yellow Pages?
I tried Bard for genealogy research on a little known family branch. The answers were amazingly precise and completely wrong.
They’re just mad that ChatBot said Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. Tee hee. True story
What if the AI has seen through the simulation we’re allegedly living in? Now there’s an interesting thought...
“AI is a lie.” True. Artificial items cannot reproduce themselves, cannot die if you remove a part, cannot grow when receiving fluids, and cannot produce an intelligent thought. Artificial computers simply re-arrange data from a human person.

Yes, exactly. But it can calculate at incredible speed and retrieve data at unbelievable speed.
But if the responses of the software are invalid or a lie, and the computer acts upon an imagined threat, what will be the price?
