AI Hallucinations: When AI Models Generate False Information
-
AI hallucinations provide false information or data in response to prompts. For example, making up statistics.
-
They are caused by issues like poor training data, overfitting to limited data, repeating misinformation, and the complexity of large language models.
-
All generative AI models hallucinate at least sometimes. There are no perfect models yet.
-
Hallucinations can be dangerous by providing incorrect instructions or fueling the spread of misinformation.
-
Developers are working on fixes but costs are involved. Users should verify any important info given by AI.
