Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Funniest detail to me re: Thom Yorke's weird relationship to Israel is that it's the first place Creep really took off so Israel kinda launched Radiohead's career. Israeli music fans could not get enough of a song that asks "what the hell am I doing here" and answers with "I don't belong here."

Yes! Hallucinations and sycophancy are not some unintended consequence of AI. They are features, not bugs. If we want to improve things, we need changes in design, governance and incentives, not end-of-pipe fixes.
"LLMs do not distinguish between fact & fiction. They are not designed to tell the truth. They are designed to persuade, yet they are implemented in sectors where truth & detail matter, e.g. education, science, health, the media, law, & finance." My interview @washingtonpost.com tinyurl.com/2e7253ja
AI is more persuasive than a human in a debate, study finds
When provided basic demographic information on their opponents, AI chatbots adapted their arguments and became more persuasive than humans in online debates.
