“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?

AI is certainly artificial, but there is nothing “intelligent” about it.
So Artificial Intelligence generates Artificial Facts ... hmmm ...
So it acts like a real person?
How much of our EneMedia does this speak for, I wonder...
Ask yourself if you dare. What if the machines are not hallucinating.
What if instead it is the human race which have had their hearts hardened, history rewritten, and brain cells spiked ?
AI is a lie. What they are building is a tool to brainwash humanity on the individual level. That means, they believe they can make a Lie into the Truth. That will never happen, with the Truth the pieces always fit, with a LIE they never will.
God is laughing at them. Computers can never create.
Finding a pattern in apparent chaos is the highest form of creativity.
Creating the pattern is God's perview.
I don’t trust them especially after watching the documentary “Ex Machina”.
GIGO lives!
Someone should ask it if the orange man is bad
It sounds like a Demoncrat to me.
Their AI is trans-AI? Hallucinating stuff that’s not real?

AI is Mental ?
Mandela effect
When Siri goofs up when you ask it for sports scores, that’s one thing, but when some all-powerful AI mistakenly decides that you have no money in your account, or has a “hallucination” and tells military commanders that hundreds of enemy ICBMs are inbound when there is nothing there, that’s quite a different problem.
Well there are two paths to fix it.
1) Stop filling it full of woke BS.
2) Stop feeding it magic mushrooms.
See tag line.
Maybe they’re hallucinating because of the delusions the SJW programmers code into them.
