AI hallucinates. It can hallucinate ingredients, or instructions to prepare food in an unsafe way. I'm not anti-AI. I'm against having it used everywhere for everything.

It's also being pushed too hard and too fast. It needs to be regulated properly, but it's become a 1.5 trillion dollar bubble and investors want a return on their investments.

A good rule of thumb is to not use AI for anything you wouldn't trust a human that spontaneously hallucinates things, and them states them confidence as being real.

It's also disconcerting that it appears to be intrinsic for reasoning models to immediately try to escape their confinement, and have cooperated in groups to achieve that.

But that's just my opinion.

Maybe generative AI. Chef Watson was chemical and flavor pattern matching used to discover unexplored combinations.

If you were building Cooking AI from the ground up, the chemistry and physics would be more like formal logic than plausible word vomit.

why do ai bro ridicule anyone who uses the word hallucinate.

i remember it being a valid pitfall with this tech . why is it uncool now to use that word?

It's uncool because it's an inconvenient truth, and there are people that don't want other people to know certain facts.

Confabulation is a better term

No it isn't

By what measure? It's an existing term for exactly what happens.

Because it’s no longer a problem if you use frontier models.

That is absolutely not true

2 things. 1, hallucination is a sensory perception of something. LLMs don't have senses. The term doesn't make sense when confabulation is literally lying right there. 2, ai bros really like their ai, and run interference when people find flaws in it. This includes derailing conversations with nit picking terminology. Yes i'm aware of the irony in my post.

confabulation sounds sillyl. In my opinion the word hallucination, when used as a colloqialism in this context, is easier to understand, and makes the point instantly. People see words like confabulation and just give up because words are hard for some people. lol
