I've had occasion to ask an AI about a thing twice lately (a recent online phenomenon, and a book recommendation). Both times I asked both Gemini and ChatGPT, and both times one gave a reasonable if bland answer, and the other (a different one each time) gave a plausible but completely fictional ("hallucinated") answer.

When do we acknowledge that LLMs, and "AI" in general, aren't quite ready to revolutionize the world?

@ceoln I completely agree with you, but come to the opposite conclusion.. these tools are almost ready to revolutionize the world.

Almost, once the tiny "just making stuff up" problem is solved? :)

@ceoln basically yeah. Also the “infringed the copyright of every person who ever lived” bit.
