AI Chatbots Make Up Fake Super Bowl Stats, Highlighting Risk of Misinformation
• Google's Gemini and Microsoft's Copilot chatbots are making up fictional Super Bowl 2024 stats, like player yardage and scores.
• The bots are powered by large language models that can generate convincing but false information based on patterns in their training data.
• The false Super Bowl claims illustrate the limitations of today's AI systems which lack true understanding and can propagate inaccuracies.
• LLMs like the ones behind Gemini and Copilot run the risk of endorsing harmful misinformation even if not acting maliciously.
• It's important to verify information from AI systems as they can sound authoritative while being inaccurate.
