Google CEO Sundar Pichai says problems with its AI can't be solved because hallucinations are an inherent problem in these AI tools.

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.”

    Yes, I’ll keep using it because it helps me get things done faster, just like vehicles help me move faster.

    Read everything you wrote again. You’re so toxic and irrational. It’s just a tool man, just understand its limitations and work with it. It’s very useful even if it isn’t perfect.

      Read the way you talked about this shit at the start:

      We are literally the first humans in human experience to have a human-level conversation with something that isn’t human

      And if my harsh, scary, grown-up language with bad words got you to now call it this:

      It’s just a tool man

      Then I consider this entire interaction a success. Thank you. I’m done.

        You can have human-level conversations with a tool. I don’t get your point. Just because it doesn’t have full human intelligence doesn’t mean it isn’t good at conversation. It is better at conversation than most humans. It is obviously not smarter than a human, but it is more eloquent and has more general knowledge than the average human.

        We are the first humans who can have a human level conversation with something that is not a human. What do you think human conversations look like? They are not very deep in general.

        Pretty funny you think you convinced me it is a tool when I just showed you like 8 different ways I use it as a tool.

        I literally started this thing saying that even if it isn’t perfect, it is pretty good and it a crazy achievement. You just keep saying it is worthless shit, but that’s not true. Just because the tool isn’t perfect it doesn’t mean that it is worthless or it isn’t an achievement.

        But whatever man… You just want to be right, so take your imaginary trophy and walk away.
