There are so many services for formatting sources…why use an LLM for this?
Because many people still don’t understand that AI isn’t a reliable source of info. I have seen people use it to fact-check things in arguments before, as if it would actually give them a factual answer.
This is far worse than being not a reliable source of info. Ms Chen had all the info she needed, and Claude falsified it.
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.
I like fabrication going forward. Clearly made up, doesn’t imply intent
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?
If you train a parrot to say “I can do calculus!” and then you ask it if it can do calculus, it’ll say “I can do calculus!”. It can’t actually do calculus, so would you say the parrot is lying?
No, but the parrot isn’t hallucinating either.
This should be cause for contempt. This isn’t much worse, IMO, than a legal briefing mentioning, “as affirmed in the case of Pee-pee v.s Poo-poo.” They’re basically taking a shit on the process by not verifying their arguments.
Being a model citizen and a person of taste, you probably don’t need this reminder, but some others do: Federal judges do not like it when lawyers electronically watermark every page of their legal PDFs with a gigantic image—purchased for $20 online—of a purple dragon wearing a suit and tie. Not even if your firm’s name is “Dragon Lawyers.”
Lmao
Lmao one of the pages on their website lists a few events at 123 Legal Ave, Suite 100, City, State, 12345. I’m starting to get the feeling these people don’t take their job very seriously.
The “divorce” link just leads to “divorce”. Not “https://shittysite/divorce“. Just,” divorce".
