These types of errors happen even after including prompts like “Do not hallucinate.”
Genius! Why didn't I think of that!

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

In every RAG guide I've seen, the suggested system prompts always tended to include some more dignified variation of "Please for the love of god only and exclusively use the contents of the retrieved text to answer the user's question, I am literally on my knees begging you."
Also, if reddit is any indication, a lot of people actually think that's all it takes and that the hallucination stuff is just people using LLMs wrong. I mean, it would be insane to pour so much money into something so obviously fundamentally flawed, right?
Yeah that method is clearly flawed. Not enough incense and prayers to the Machine God, no wonder the Machine Spirit is displeased. All praise the machine god of Mars! Praise the Omnissiah!

Yeah - no AI summaries for me, thanks
Steve Jobs: “And so for me a computer has always been a bicycle of the mind, something that that takes us far beyond our inherent abilities.”
Tim Cook on AI:
"A seatless bicycle for the mind”
But Apple Intelligence has its good points. “I find the best thing about Apple intelligence is that since I haven’t enabled it, my phone optimized for onboard AI has incredible battery life,” responded another Bluesky user. [Bluesky]
Y'know, if Apple had simply removed the AI altogether and went with that as a marketing point, people would probably buy more iPhones.
At the bare minimum, AI wouldn't be actively driving people away from buying them.
Apple doesn't roll it out to EU out of spite for EU regulators slowly regulating their toy into a smartphone. They view it as punishment, imagine that?
