Hallucinations part I

Artificial Intelligence

A great take on hashtag#genAI hallucinations by Colin F. "Hallucinations", however we define the concept, are a core property (and perhaps the core value proposition) of LLMs and genAI systems.

My view: Trying to root them out is counterproductive. Factual errors are to be expected by the very nature of the underlying stochastic algorithms. But so is "creative license". Thus the issue is more about defining use cases that will benefit and not rushing the technology into use cases it is ill fitted to address. Unfortunately, we see a lot more of the latter.
