CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)

Well, according to an interview at The Vergewith Google CEO Sundar Pichai published earlier this week, just before criticism of the outputs really took off, these "hallucinations" are an "inherent feature" of  AI large language models (LLM), which is what drives AI Overviews, and this feature "is still an unsolved problem."

Text prediction != Intelligence

Does it need to be real intelligence in order to have a conversation with it?

Behold, AI!

Nobody has said that an LLM is real artificial intelligence.

I love how much you're walking back your own statements. Lmao

You just inflated my initial statement by assuming I meant that Chatgpt is smarter than humans. I said that Chatgpt is more advanced than the average human at linguistics, and I stand by it. Show me where I said "Chatgpt is smarter than a human" or "this is real simulated human intelligence". You just wanted to be angry at someone so you made your narrative in your mind.

I even said that it doesn't need to be real intelligence in order to be capable of having a conversation.

You'll probably keep creating your imaginary narrative, so there's no point in arguing with you.

Good bye.

You, sir, are an idiot.

I don't care what you think, your attitude is disgusting.

Never understood this argument. It has nice rethorics but proves nothing. the problem with text prediction != intelligence is that we can't even define intelligence. I hate AI as much as the next guy here, but that doesn't mean we should do lazy assertions and quoting dumb arguments.

You're not wrong that we don't have great definitions of intelligence, but that doesn't detract at all from criticism against these LLM's being pushed on us and the massive amount of praise and hype being directed at what's essentially advertising platforms.

Never understood this argument.

All you need to understand is that AI models are making the internet a lot worse, and it's going to get worse and worse and people are not happy about it. The exact details and semantics about the wording is almost irrelevant in the face of our need to collectively demand better from our tech companies and not act like these LLM's are real entities that deserve respect.
