OpenAI admits AI hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, not just engineering flaws
In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits.

Yes, any book written by AI should be clearly labeled. And when someone is searching for a book to borrow, they should be able to sort out AI generated books so they don't appear in their search results too.
Librarians say that taxpayers are already paying for low quality AI-generated ebooks in public libraries because libraries don’t have the resources to sort through the onslaught of new books.

This is also what annoys me about companies selling off articles and books to train AI. I can’t get access to that as a scholar without major fees paid by me or my library system. Why does AI get it?
Most scholars I know--affiliated or not--just want access to resources behind paywalls--subscription journals, databases, books. No one I know is going "gee I wish I had AI tools to mine those resources for pithy, questionable syntheses." They can't even GET TO the resources. THAT is what they want.

This is horrifying.
To all the people who keep saying, “we need to teach students how to use AI responsibly,” for the love of all things please tell me how we are supposed to teach students how to use a tool crafted so obviously to lead them away from history?

Through the good graces of school.ai this morning, I had a chat with Anne Frank.
I had a helluva time trying to get her to say a bad word about Nazis.
Here's our conversation in this thread.

My observation from the pandemic about this is a lot of people claim to like science but show they really don’t when it inconveniences them. What they actually like is random science trivia (“Saturn has 146 moons!”) that doesn’t challenge their world views. 🧪
