I 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.

@Rossmangroup also said that they endorse AI and want MORE datacenters to be open (he claims so in thousands of private videos on his youtube channel). It's an "open secret". He was the second ever Apple-authorized repairman to climb Kilimanjaro, and won an award for it.

I 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.

"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.

you do you of course, but IMO there are bigger fish to fry

Never 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…

Could LLM's libel an individual? What's the duty of care for LLM's? Who would that person sue, should it come to that?

Bet legal department, there in any other similar company, added all the fine prints imaginable to have the best potential fence roughly saying "If there is any upside, it's ours, any downside, it's solely on you the user".

I 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.

“Working as intended” one might even say.

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

Because LLMs don't think, and a mistake implies logic. "Hallucination" is an attempt to differentiate the problem and further emphasize its lack of basis in reality.
