Ilya Sutskever, cofounder of OpenAI has said this openly. False information output by an LLM is no more a hallucination than what happens to be true. “Making stuff up” is the core of the technology. Period. It just… generates words. Facts aren’t a thing. Truth isn’t a concern. “Thinking” isn’t part of the process. It’s unfortunate that this technology is marketed as intelligent, or like an assistant, because it’s neither. It’s a tool that’s good for some things. And as the user of the tool, you should be aware its strengths and weaknesses.

Obviously if the generated string is statistically likely to match the output a human might generate it's not random, that's nonsensical (so I edited that word out of my former post) other than that that's pretty much what an LLM does. If you got diverging information that points towards an LLM having some sort of understanding of what it is talking about rather than just generating a statistically likely string of letters, please share.

Comparing a hand with 7 fingers (which really doesn't happen in newer models fwiw) is tricky because I'm sure there are plenty of human pieces of art that have had odd numbers of fingers as an artistic choice. If we are only valuing photorealism, sure--but that is only one subset of art. Bullshitting also means AI is decent at fiction. Because, again, things are subjective and as long as stuff is put together fine then any quirks in the presentation can be hand-waved as art. This is the entire basis of the age-old debate of art vs. science, after all. I don't expect AI to be all that great at science for some time. Because AI doesn't care or know how to evaluate truth or facts. It is good at making something *appear* as if it is truth or facts--which makes it extremely applicable to art, where all that matters is the subjective evaluation of the presentation/appearance of something. (If anything, there is some irony in people arguing that the main way we can tell AI art from human art is that we expect human art to be more perfect... when that honestly runs counter to the entire approach of most artists outside of photorealism genres. This is why there are so many false-positives when people try to spot AI art. People nitpick artists and it turns out.. nah.. it's just funky because it was funky. Not because it was AI.)

I feel like this is saying, "Fire doesn't care about your food. It just heats it right because it just makes stuff hot." AI is a tool. It's actual usefulness depends on what it's being used for and who's using it, to put it as simple as possible.

I am just wondering why there are seemingly quite a lot of people that just believe the random stuff the AI spews out. If you ask it anything a little more complex or where there are misleading information found online you will get ridiculously wrong answers. One would think that people maybe try that first before they trust it. I asked chatGPT just a random thing about a city in a well known fantasy setting. It then mixed various settings together because the people of this city also exist in various other settings and the AI couldn't separate them. That was wild. Now imagine that with all the wrong info floating around on the internet. There is no way AI will be able to determine if something is correct or not, because it isn't actually AI.

Also probably why casual users are *so* impressed with the generative AI. You're less likely to understand those details, understand composition, things like that. And why actual artists have started to pick up on which pieces are generated by AI. It's not just things like weird fingers, either, but that's one that's easy to point to.

You just read the abstract? Papers dont need to show “extrodinary” findings or change the world. Papers are building blocks of each other. If you read the abstract, you’d see they found general intelligence from their model, which is more than what a truly LLM would be capable of, as well as small “sparks” of AGI. Again, check their testing methods. Their testing methods utilize strategies that would have never been in their testing data for it to just “predict” the next word. Much more eye opening here. All it is saying is that their unreleased version they tested is not strictly just using probability of next word chances to produce outputs.

I had a recent experience that confirms this. Was trying to find about a music video that had a specific scene.  I provided the artist and the description of the scene and it took about 5 tries for the bot to get it right.  All this time sounding very confident with his replies. Eventually it got right, and just to mess with it some more I ask it if it was 100% sure of its answer. It replied with a different answer.  So the AI is just guessing most of the time and has not real conception of reality, very human-like I must say.

Do we have complete information about the whole system? Also yes. Do we know how it arrives at its conclusions in specific instances? Sometimes, kinda, maybe (and XAI ist trying to change that), but mostly no. Do we understand how emergent properties come to be? Hell no. Neuroscientists know how neurons work, we have a decent understanding of brain regions and networks. We can watch single neurons fire and networks activate under certain conditions. Does that mean the brain isn't still a magical mystery box? Fuck no. A lot of the substance of what you're trying to say hinges on the specific definitions of both "know" and "how it works".

Because words have meaning and an LLM doesn't understand meaning. Imagine I put you in a room with 2 buttons in front of you. Behind that, a display that shows you weird-ass things that have no meaning to you (Rohrschach pictures, swirling colors, alien symbols, whatever the fuck). For anything that might show up on the display, there is a correct order in which you can press the buttons and you will be rewarded if you do it correctly. Because your human brain is slow you get to sit there for a couple thousand years to learn which button presses lead to a reward given a certain prompt on the display. A symbol appears on the display, you press 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1. The answer is correct. Good job here's your reward. Would you say you understand what you're doing? Do you understand the meaning of the communication that is going on? The symbols you see or the output you generate? What happens with the output you generate?   Like even when LLMs have registers for words that contain pictures and wikipedia articles and definitions and all that jazz that the LLM can reference when prompted, it still has no clue what any of that means. It's meaningless strings of letters that it is programmed to associate. These letters or words have no meaning to it, it's just like the symbols and buttons in the above example. It may be trained to associate a symbol with a sequence of button presses but it's still void of any meaning.

> We sure could, but things like awkward shading, perspective, etc are harder to spot You people act as if artists themselves get those things right all the time. There's a reason that hands and feet being hard to draw was a thing even before AI came along. And there are a HELL of a lot of shitty artists out there who get shading, perspective, and musculature wrong. Deviantart is full of amateurs. I saw someone accuse a real artist of being an AI artst just yesterday because their shading style was very smooth, and indistinct. They were quite upset. And I was amused because they themselves had contributed to their own dilemma by hating on AI art on their timeline. It was inevitable that if artists went on a crusade against AI art that they themselves would be accused of using AI, because no artist is perfect, and if they are, that itself could be a sign of AI!

Hallucination in humans happens when we’re scared or don’t have enough resources to process things correctly. It’s usually a temporary problem that can be fixed (unless it’s caused by an illness). If someone is a liar that’s more of an innate long-term condition that developed over time. Investors prefer the idea of a short-term problem that can be fixed.

Isn't he just the Freud of linguistics? As in his work was important in that it changed the field, but the actual work is bullshit with more marketing than substance. That's without going into the deeply problematic ways he did it (hint, there's a lot of overlap with his linguistics methods and his "if a western democracy is accused of something bad it definitely happened, but if a socialist state is accused of something bad it's fake news and if it's not fake news then it wasn't actually bad" bullshit) or how he's clearly just a partisan hack in geopolitics and economics that the left elevates because he's a famous academic. Dude is a garbage person in every way imaginable, and because it needs to be mentioned every time he's mentioned, he called the Bosnian genocide "population exchanges", denied the existence of the Khmer Rouge killing fields because "refugees are disgruntled so you can't trust them" (basically his argument anyway while conveniently ignoring that they completely shut out the outside world), denied the Rwanda genocides, and denied the Darfur genocides. Probably more I'm not aware of because he just really seems to be into genocide denial.

It's a chicken vs the egg problem. You need natural language processing in order to validate (at scale) that the natural language processing is working correctly. There is research and services for validating the output based on accuracy and other metrics, but it tends to be limited with cosine similarity and other basic methods. See the LLM is not searching for results, but rather all of the data is used to train a model by adjusting the weights. You adjust the numbers based on how much the output differs from the expected result. It is just outputting and cleaning up what the model returns for the input.

Eh… It’s just visual arts is a manifestation of multimodal learning. It emerged as a by product of a model understanding both text and images. When you have a model that understands the features related to the isolated feature and combination of the words “impressionism”, “cat” and “pirate hat”, you get an image that has manifestations of those. Those people who went to train the first CLIP and GANs that are guided by text are research focused. They wanted to know how to design a model that can have multiple inputs and guide the model generation thru text. Then they realized that the core of art is very similar on a technical level so AI art was born

I mean it feels like you're not paying attention to what I said. You can ask an image generation model for something photorealistic or scientific, similarly to how you can ask a language model for something which is technically true. You can also ask both for something more artistic as well. Both struggle with aspects of technical truth. Also this is a side point but I think if you look at the data they're trained on you would probably find something like 99.99% of hands have five fingers, I honestly don't think there are a significant number of human artworks with strange numbers of fingers.

How I see it? Saying that an AI model can hallucinate (or to oversimplify, generate incorrect data) also inversely means that the model can generate a correct output. And from that we judge how "smart" it is by which way it has a tendency to be. But the reality is, it isn't really smart by our traditional sense of logic or reason. The goal of the model isn't to be true or correct. It just gives us what it considers the most probable output.

As a software dev, it’s amazing how many new people come in and say “I learned with ChatGPT” and, truth be told, nothing they do is right and it’s all broken. The data sources can range across documents covering many versions of a language and some of that stuff just doesn’t work. And they don’t know why, because ChatGPT is “AI.” And they never actually learned a damn thing themselves.

You have to think more abstract, it doesn't think or know anything, it's just a mathematical formula that spits out words and we fine tune that until it spits out better word combinations.

The way I've heard LLM best described is that they are designed to imitate real human language. The problem is the average person spouts a load of nonsense most of the time. So, it's succeeded in what it was designed to do, it's just that what it's designed to do is far less useful than most people expect it to be. We are used to the kind of "Excel" intelligence of a computer that can quickly and accurately give me the standard deviation of sample of 25 million, or add up all the primes below a googol that contain 7, or hash passwords, where if it gives an unexpected answer it's because *we've* made a mistake.

I’ve already picked up on how they introduced bias when they “compare and rate”, plus glossed over several obvious mistakes in the output vs the “explanation”.

Try [Consensus](https://chatgpt.com/g/g-bo0FiWLY7-consensus). They have basically scrapped libgen and fed it to ChatGPT. Though they will never admit they scrapped libgen, of course.

Yeah no.  This is nothing but misinformation, propaganda and lies.   The elite are running scared because they know AI will set us free and make them irrelevant.   Don't fucking fall for it.

Because it makes it seem like it has any intelligence at all and not that it’s just following a set of rules like any other computer program

It’s trained to give probable responses to input. Most answers to most questions are incorrect. But they are answers to the question. It does not know or care, so you better know and care, or not use it.

The real power and meat is in how it's breaking down your prompt to form intent, in order to build those probable outputs. That part is very cool. The final user output however, is a huge problem.

Most answers to most questions are incorrect and there is only one correct answer. But it’s more probable to get an incorrect answer because most answers are incorrect.

It implies that it reacted correctly to information that wasn't correct, rather than just being wrong and making shit up. Id agree that it's a slightly positive spin on a net negative

I guess thats what we get for using a term that anthropomorphizes AI. The term "hallucinate" was always meant to define what youre describing. An llm is designed to continue the existing input, it is not designed for truth or even knowledge, in that not only does it not "care" about whether what is outputs is the truth, it isn't even relying on the data its been trained on in the way we have memories. LLMs are maybe best described as if you were learning a song on an instrument to the point you have muscle memory, and then you lost the original memories relating to knowing or learning that song. To someone external you might look like youre an expert musician because you're playing a song perfectly, but youre just doing it subconsciously.

Generative Predictive Text. What do you think GPT stood for?

I think he means by using an anthropomorphic term we inherently imply the baggage that comes with it - i.e if you hallucinate, you have a mind that can hallucinate.

There are many "creative" types (business drivers) who believe these LLMs will lead to a web 3.0 type model. If web 2.0 was user driven content, LLMs truly do allow 3.0 to be bot aggregate/driven/fabricated content. We are truly witnessing the true death of the internet, and those stuck thinking it's all people are getting completely lost and left behind. Source for the first sentence: my boss, at an advertising company.
