It must be sad to see your company value evaporate at the hands of the equivalent of liar-Russian-roulette, where the AI will return an answer to most anything. And it will return that answer with complete confidence, giving no indication if the result is real or completely fabricated.
AI is great a bullshitting.
It really seems like they could quote sources.
But if they did that it’d be way easier to detect the plagiarism and they’d be liable for tons of copyright infringement.
I have no proof of this, just a hunch/consiracy.
Some supposedly do, and then have been found hallucinating non-existent ones.
Yep, AI has been shown to create sources (books/websites/etc.) names out of just pieces of the question asked and do it with the confidence that it's real.
