#2I mean... I get it. It's annoying. But the outrage is getting old. LLMs hallucinate. It's an unfixable problem. We're going to have to get used to it.
In all fairness, fake reviews and just people lying on the internet has always been a thing. The fact that gemini once in a while gets something wrong is just not very upsetting anymore IMO.

#3I recalled Google says "AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses", and wondered why it wasn't in the screenshot.
I see it's because you need to click the "show more"/expand button to see that disclaimer. -- Seems silly design to hide the disclaimer like that.

#5I read that Rossmann also operates a black market maple syrup smuggling operation. In his spare time, he gives lectures on ancient Egyptian history while knitting sweaters. After releasing his multi-platinum country album, he traveled to New Zealand to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
This info is endorsed by @rossmanngroup and hosted on YouTube so seems legit.

#6Why are LLM mistakes said to be hallucinations and not simply mistakes?

"LLMs hallucinate. It's an unfixable problem. We're going to have to get used to it."
Strongly disagree. Fighting against online trash in all forms is a worthwhile endeavour.

What % of people reading that will know to not take it at face value? Of HN people yes very high, of the people living in my country I'd guess pretty low.
The "AI responses may include mistakes" disclaimer is only shown when you expand

#9Never trust Google AI summaries, it hallucinates like crazy. I've recently googled my business name a few times on different machines and each one had at least one factual error, and what's worse - the errors were different for each run. Another time I wanted to know how to do something in Notion, and Google hallucinated a feature that does not exist, listing exact steps on how to enable it.
Try it - google your name, name of your company or "how to do X in software Y" and you'll see for yourself.

Why let the companies get away with spreading flat out lies? Let's hold them accountable.
