Tech experts are starting to doubt that ChatGPT and A.I. ‘hallucinations’ will ever go away: ‘This isn’t fixable’::Experts are starting to doubt it, and even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is a bit stumped.

People make a big deal out of this but they forget humans will make shit up all the time.

[-] Cybermass@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

Yeah but humans can use critical thinking, even on themselves when they make shit up. I've definitely said something and then thought to myself "wait that doesn't make sense for x reason, that can't be right" and then I research and correct myself.

AI is incapable of this.

We think in multiple passes though, we have system 1 that thinks fast and makes mistakes, and we have a system 2 that works slower and thinks critically about the things going on in our brain, that's how we correct ourselves. ChatGPT works a lot like our system 1, it goes with the most likely response without thinking, but there's no reason that it can't be one part of a multistep system that has self analysis like we do. It isn't incapable of that, it just hasn't been built yet

Exactly, if you replicate this behaviour with a "system 2 AI" correcting the main one it will probably give similar results as most of us.

Heck you can eventually have 5 separate AIs discussing things out for you and then presenting the answer, at top speed.

It will never be perfect, but it will outmatch humans soon enough.
