MODERATORS
There are guardrails in place to avoid providing the user illegal and hateful information to the en user and specially to avoid situations like that (well not all companies do, but you can expect Google to have it in place),
I wonder: 1- How did the LLM hallucinate so much to generate that answer out of the blues given the previous context. 2- Why did the guardrails failed blocking this such obvious undesired output.
As I said, these things happen when the company uses AI mainly as a tool to obtain data from the user, leaving aside the reliability of its LLM, which allows it to practically collect data indiscriminately for its knowledge base. This is why ChatBots are generally discardable as a reliable source of information. Search assistants are different, like Andi, since they do not get their information from their own knowledge base, but in real time from the web, there it only depends on whether they know how to recognize the reliability of the information, which Andi does, contrasting several sources. This is why it offers the highest accuracy of all major AI, according to an independent benchmark.
I hate that Lemmy is being infiltrated by AI ad spam now too :’(
This probably isn't a hallucination in the classic sense.
This is probably a near copy of a forum post where a user was channeling fight club and trying to be funny. The same as the putting glue on pizza thing.
And guardrails don't work very well. They're good at detection tone but much worse at detection content. So an appropriately guardrailed LLM will never call someone a "fucking ######" but it'll keep telling everyone that segalis have an IQ of 40 until there's such a PR backlash that an updated is needed.
I think you are asking the right questions, IMO. It isn't out of the ordinary for this kind of thing go happen there are for sure prevention methods used.
I am far more interested in the failure than the statement itself.
