The way a lot of people use AI is kind of proof the only thing they ever did or cared about was appearances and hype. There is not one iota of interest in reality. Every waking moment is a walking con and a sales pitch.

At no point has anyone in power ever operated otherwise. Frankly I'm surprised that you're surprised.

can't blame OpenAI for hallucinating a map, that's what it's good for - can blame officials for not proofreading it though

I know ive been wanting chatGPT to create snazzy map routes to share with friends for our road trips and or vacations the past many years but it fails miserably! Which would show distance / drive time between each spot, interesting sites at each spot and along the way.

seems odd/inefficient that it would hallucinate a bad map instead of retrieving an actual map!

If I have to proofread a map you gave me, then your tool is a shit. And I can blame it.

yes but it seems likely that the user asked it to generate (hallucinate) a map, not annotate an actual map

one would be well-advised to proofread everything from stochastic generator tools
