Here's how you stop AI from hallucinating:

Turn it off.

Because everything they output is a hallucination. Just because sometimes those hallucinations are true to life doesn't mean jack shit. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

"Only feed it accurate information."

Even that doesn't work because it just mixes and matches every element of its input to generate a new, novel output. Which would inevitably be wrong.

Well yeah, its using the same dataset as MS copilot.

Spitting out inaccurate (I wish the media would stop feeding into calling it something that sounds less bad like hallucinations) answers is nothing something that will go away until the LLM gains the ability to decern context.

It’s insane how many people already take AI as more capable/accurate than other medium. I’m not against AI, but I’m definitely against how much of a bubble of being worshipped that some people have it in.

Stupid headline, it's like Tim Cook saying he's not 100% sure Apple can stop batteries in their devices from exploding. You do as much as you can to prevent it but it might happen anyway because that's just how it is.

Of course you are getting downvoted, because you are right and not being a reactionary douche like your average lemmizen.

You mean we can't teach a bullshit machine to stop bullshitting? I'm shocked.

What you can do is try to filter out the garbage, but it’s basically trying to find gold in food waste.

Saying anything else would be lying

If you want to have good AI, you need to spend money and send your AI to college. Have real humans interact with it, correct it's logic, make sure it understands sarcasm and logical fallacies.

Or, you can go the cheap route: train it on 10 years of Reddit sh*tposts and hope for the best.
