LLMs are already being used for policy making, business decisions, software creation and the like. The issue is bigger than summarisers, and "hallucinations" are a real problem when they lead to real decisions and real consequences.

If you can't imagine why this is bad, maybe read some Kafka or watch some Black Mirror.

My friends would probably say something like "I've never heard that one, but I guess it means something like ..."

The problem is, these LLMs don't give any indication when they're making stuff up versus when repeating an incontrovertible truth. Lots of people don't understand the limitations of things like Google's AI summary* so they will trust these false answers. Harmless here, but often not.

* I'm not counting the little disclaimer because we've been taught to ignore smallprint from being faced with so much of it

I found that trying "some-nonsense-phrase meaning" won't always trigger the idiom interpretation, but you can often change it to something more saying-like.

I also found that trying in incognito mode had better results, so perhaps it's also affected by your settings. Maybe it's regional as well, or based on your search result. And, as AI's non-deterministic, you can't expect it to always work.

And it's can't bear to (bear as in carry, not bare as in nude).

A lot of the discussion is about kinds of locking mechanisms. I think it's posted in the right place.

“We think this feature is best used when talking with groups where you may not know everyone closely but are nevertheless sensitive in nature,”

Sounds like Meta wants to be used for the next Houti strike coordination group chat.

The title does seem to suggest that it's weird that it's a 1940s car when it's actually the least surprising option, besides no car at all.

I didn't think it sounded anything like him and then saw that it was Brent Spiner's voice.

Iron Sky counts, right? Its budget is a bit high but it's a B-movie and it knows it.

The comments suggest it's false positives instead of a leak but worth keeping an eye on, thanks.
