2025-02-13 - Hallucination in Artificial Intelligence
Robots also dream. Yes, and they dream while awake. The hallucination in language models (or artificial intelligences) is inevitable. Not everything generated by an AI can be trusted, and you should have appropriate criteria to judge the information produced.
