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

Comments

Well there isn't a human that never "hallucinates" in meaning we use for LLMs aka gives "incorrect answers" confidently.

Human's brains use lots of heuristics - we don't "think step by step" through everything - instead we rapidly construct an answer for almost everything.

What we say is "hallucinations" for AI in humans is "misspeaking, misremembering anything, off by 1 math/counting, missidentifying someone, using the wrong variable/method when programming, etc."
