Understanding AI Hallucinations
AI systems, particularly large language models, can produce what is referred to as 'hallucinations,' which is when they generate answers that are incorrect or nonsensical. This phenomenon arises from the algorithm’s reliance on probability and mathematical patterns, leading it to choose a response that might seem plausible but is factually inaccurate. An example discussed was the absurd recommendation from a program suggesting that cheese should be glued down to a pizza, illustrating how sometimes models can match on irrelevant or incorrect criteria. This issue highlights the importance of considering the limitations of AI tools and the need for critical evaluation of their outputs.
