Comment on Microsoft's AI shopping announcement contains hallucinations in the demoparent

Comments

It's belief vs intent. Intent would be anthropomorphizing AI much more than belief and would denote a theory of mind. I'm not sure of a better term for things the model 'believes' to be true that are wrong. I think it's quite analogous given that the model then elaborates on the false belief in much the same way that humans appear to do with hallucinations.

Additionally belief does not mean human; for example animals can have beliefs, even very rudimentary animals. I think is more of a way of self-containing the entity and treating it as a black box.
