Not all searches get AI answers, but Google has been steadily expanding this feature since it debuted last year. One searcher on Reddit spotted a troubling confabulation when searching for crashes involving Airbus planes. AI Overviews, apparently overwhelmed with results reporting on the Air India crash, stated confidently (and incorrectly) that it was an Airbus A330 that fell out of the sky shortly after takeoff. We’ve run a few similar searches—some of the AI results say Boeing, some say Airbus, and some include a strange mashup blaming both Airbus and Boeing. It’s a mess.
Always remember that AI, or more accurately, LLMs are just glorified predictive text like on your phone. Don’t trust them. Maybe someday they will be reliable, but that day isn’t today.___
Should say “lies” or “fabricates” to be clear, so tired of the “hallucinations” cop-out.
Took almost my exact quote from my lips…
Also so tired of the constant use of the marketing term “hallucinate” designed specifically to reduce the import of Counterfeit Cognizance making shit up out of whole cloth because it was trained on trash gathered from the Internet.
As they say: Garbage in, garbage out. 🤷♂️ 💩
