Comment on AI hallucinations are getting worse – and they're here to stayparent

Comments

Our brain does it better. That tells you AI models could do it better.

... I mean, this is likely strictly true, if you define 'AI model' to mean 'any conceivable AI model'. If you're talking about LLMs, though, it's not a reasonable conclusion; LLMs do not work at all like a human brain. LLM 'hallucinations' are nothing like human hallucinations, and the term is really very unhelpful.

Have you seen what a human subsystem, like the visual context, does when it operates without a memory and without what mitigates hallucinations? If not, how could you make the claim that they don't similarly make false predictions? Or have preventable error in internal models?

You're right that they don't work like the brain, though.
