"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I’ve literally seen someone include “Don’t hallucinate” in an agent’s instructions.
Asking Claude to not hallucinate is like telling a person to not breathe. it's gonna happen, and happen conistently.
I think the important bit to understand here is that LLMs are never not hallucinating. But they sometimes happens to hallucinate something correct.
This fact of how LLMs work is not at all widespread enough IMO.
