I mean AI is already generating lots of bullshit ‘reports’. Like you know, stuff that reports ‘news’ with zero skill. It’s glorified copy-pasting really.
If you think about how much language is rote, in like law and etc. Makes a lot of sense to use AI to auto generate it. But it’s not intelligence. It’s just creating a linguistic assembly line. And just like in a factory, it will require human review to for quality control.
The thing is - and what’s also annoying me about the article - AI experts and computational linguists know this. It’s just the laypeople that end up using (or promoting) these tools now that they’re public that don’t know what they’re talking about and project intelligence onto AI that isn’t there. The real hallucination problem isn’t with deep learning, it’s with the users.
Spot on. I work on AI and just tell people “Don’t worry, we’re not anywhere close to terminator or skynet or anything remotely close to that yet” I don’t know anyone that I work with that wouldn’t roll their eyes at most of these “articles” you’re talking about. It’s frustrating reading some of that crap lol.
This is the curation effect: generate lots of chaff, and have humans search for the wheat. Thing is, someone’s already gotten in deep shit for trying to use deep learning for legal filings.
It drives me nuts about how often I see the comments section of an article have one smartass pasting the GPT summary of that article. The quality of that content is comparable to the “reply girl” shit from 10 years ago.

The article really isn’t about the hallucinations though. It’s about the impact of AI. its in the second half of the article.
I read the article yes
