The AI ate my homework.
Can we normalize not calling them hallucinations? They’re not hallucinations. They are fabrications; lies. We should not be romanticizing a robot lying to us.
Pretty engrained vocabulary at this point. Lies implies intent. I would have preferred "errors"
Also, for the record, this is the most dystopian headline I've come across to date.
I like fabrication going forward. Clearly made up, doesn't imply intent
The word hallucination has zero implication of intent whatsoever. Last time I checked hallucination is an entirely involuntary experience, regardless of the context the word is used in.
They are called hallucination in computer science not “to romanticize” it. It is called that because the output is totally random from the perspective of the input. If there is no logical path from input to the output, it is similar to a human hallucinating. Human sees no actual weird visual stimuli that results in them hallucinating a dragon, therefore the input info from their eyes has no bearing on what they imagine is actually there.
This is different from “fabrication” in that the AI intentionally creating fake info based on your input request would not be a hallucination, because there would be a relationship between input and output.
While you say you prefer “fabrication”, the word fabrication actually implies some intent that is absent from what we are referring to as AI hallucinations
Emm no... Why?
This should be cause for contempt. This isn't much worse, IMO, than a legal briefing mentioning, "as affirmed in the case of Pee-pee v.s Poo-poo." They're basically taking a shit on the process by not verifying their arguments.
Being a model citizen and a person of taste, you probably don't need this reminder, but some others do: Federal judges do not like it when lawyers electronically watermark every page of their legal PDFs with a gigantic image—purchased for $20 online—of a purple dragon wearing a suit and tie. Not even if your firm's name is "Dragon Lawyers."
Lmao
Lmao one of the pages on their website lists a few events at 123 Legal Ave, Suite 100, City, State, 12345. I'm starting to get the feeling these people don't take their job very seriously.
The "divorce" link just leads to "divorce". Not "https://shittysite/divorce%E2%80%9C. Just," divorce".
We really are just getting stupider and stupider, aren't we?
Most are, yes..why learn anything when companies will speak for you?
How is this not considered fraud? Or at least hold them in contempt.
AI's second innovation, besides letting you mass fire labor, is removing all blame for any decision as long as you can thinly point to AI being involved.
It outsources responsibility, and our legal/political/moral systems are not built to handle it.
But it legally doesn't. That is why AI has not taken over in high liability fields. Morons are testing the waters and learning that AI mistakes make no difference in a court room, and if anything are grounds for further evidence of negligence.
The big bet now, I think, is whether those popup insurance policies regarding coverage for losses relates to AI usage end up profitable. If so, that is what will lead to truly dystopian stories like "AI piloted passenger jet crashes, United Airlines fined x million dollars but happily continues using AI pilots because insurance covered the fine and it's just a cost of doing business"
How are so many professional people so ignorant about AI?
Because they're professionals in unrelated fields. Understanding AI was never part of their job description, this strange and confusing technology snuck up on everyone and most people don't really know what's going on, they were never ready for this.
