Google rolled out AI overviews across the United States this month, exposing its flagship product to the hallucinations of large language models.

    Can we swap out the word “hallucinations” for the word “bullshit”?

    I think all AI/LLM stuf should be prefaced as “someone down the pub said…”

    So, “someone down the pub said you can eat rocks” or, “someone down the pub said you should put glue on your pizza”.

    Hallucinations are cool, shit like this is worthless.

      No, hallucination is a really good term. It can be super confident and seemingly correct but still completely made up.

        It’s a really bad term because it’s usually associated with a mind, and LLMs are nothing of the sort.
