AIs do not hallucinate. They do not think or feel or experience. They are math.
Your brain is a similar model, exponentially larger, that is under constant training from the moment you exist.
Neural-net AIs are not going to meet their hype. Tech bros have not cracked consciousness.
Sucks to see what could be such a useful tool get misappropriated by the hype machine for like cheating on college papers and replacing workers and deepfaking porn of people who aren’t willing subjects because it’s being billed as the ultimate, do-anything software.
Hallucination is the technical term for when the output of an LLM is factually incorrect. Don't confuse that with the normal meaning of the word.
A bug in software isn't an actual insect.
