Ivana Dukanovic, an associate from Latham & Watkins, the attorney for Anthropic in the lawsuit filed by Concord Music, is taking the blame for the erroneous citation of an article that does not…
Can we normalize not calling them hallucinations? They’re not hallucinations. They are fabrications; lies. We should not be romanticizing a robot lying to us.
that’s a lie. They knowingly made something up. The AI doesn’t know what it’s saying so it’s not lying. “Hallucinating” isn’t a perfect word but it’s much more accurate than “lying.”
The word hallucination has zero implication of intent whatsoever. Last time I checked hallucination is an entirely involuntary experience, regardless of the context the word is used in.
They are called hallucination in computer science not “to romanticize” it. It is called that because the output is totally random from the perspective of the input. If there is no logical path from input to the output, it is similar to a human hallucinating. Human sees no actual weird visual stimuli that results in them hallucinating a dragon, therefore the input info from their eyes has no bearing on what they imagine is actually there.
This is different from “fabrication” in that the AI intentionally creating fake info based on your input request would not be a hallucination, because there would be a relationship between input and output.
While you say you prefer “fabrication”, the word fabrication actually implies some intent that is absent from what we are referring to as AI hallucinations

Pretty engrained vocabulary at this point. Lies implies intent. I would have preferred “errors”
Also, for the record, this is the most dystopian headline I’ve come across to date.
If a human does not know an answer to a question, yet they make some shit up instead of saying “I don’t know”, what would you call that?

Bullshit.
I like fabrication going forward. Clearly made up, doesn’t imply intent

Emm no… Why?
