OpenAI CEO Defends AI 'Hallucinations' as Novel Perspectives, Not Lies

  • OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said AI "hallucinations" provide value as models create novel perspectives by rearranging existing data.

  • Altman spoke with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff before appearing at a Senate hearing with Musk and Zuckerberg.

  • Benioff earlier characterized "hallucinations" as lies, but Altman said they are more of a creative feature.

  • Altman said models can't just look things up like a database, so "hallucinating" provides creative value.

  • Altman believes models have disrupted creative fields first because of their ability to reframe data, not just automate physical tasks.
