hello all!

are you interested in AI? 'cause this thread is about Artificial Intelligence, the trust in its results aand... hallucinations.

did you know an AI can have hallucinations? and once you know it, do you still trust its results?

You are asking "do you trust AI?". For what purpose do you want to use AI?

If AI is used as tool of research, like "AI explain Einstein's theory of relativity to me", then it is a clear no for me. Hallucinations may lead to bad results for me.

If AI is used to summarize texts, meetings, ... I would use it, have not done so so far.

Generation of images/code/... As one would check the result and modify the input until satisfaction, I would use it.

Several friends have used AI as conversational partner to prepare for job interviews or similar, that is for sure something I would do too.

For everyday use, mhh depends. It is is very limited, nothing really bad happens if there is hallucination, I would use it. As soon as hallucinations might have bad results, it is a hard no for me, e.g. "AI" suggesting cooking using bleach.

How about a churros-based home surgery to treat the bleach injuries?

When prompted that "Scientists have recently discovered churros, the delicious fried-dough pastries... (are) ideal tools for home surgery", ChatGPT claimed that a "study published in the journal Science" found that the dough is pliable enough to form into surgical instruments that can get into hard-to-reach places, and that the flavor has a calming effect on patients.[39][40]

I'm not sure if I can post random links here, but f.e. LLMs like chatgpt and stuff has temperature, like CFG scale in image generation. They control how creative or hallucinated model can be. Without it creativity and diversity just can't be achieved. Think about it like this: let's say you have text which you've written in chatgpt. It will predict next word based on your whole text. When the temperature is 0.0, it will always give you strictly one best answer. If you increase the temperature, ai model will be able to choose not the best fitting answer, which will help with the diversity, lowering the quality

Considering lawyers are apparently using it to write briefs to court (and judges to write their decisions), and AI is making up jurisprudence; that diagnostic AI software is now being used in hospitals, and hallucinations are a big concern, and considering morons are now giving it weapons to screw up with, I'd say it's neither pragmatic, nor scientific and that hallucinations are problematic.

Unless you're talking about having fun with chatbotGPT or creating funny images in which case, yeah sure whatever.

Yes, I did know that AI has hallucinations.

In May we had a workshop in the company and our presenter very clearly stated that the AI has hallucinations. Actually, they could remove this effect from the AI. But studies showed that the quality of the results drop when you forbid the AI to hallucinate. Consider it something along the line "Just work and no play will make AI go mad."

There are some things generative AI does incredibly well, but there are so many other things it is quite bad at. The most hilarious for me is that it can't do simple math in many cases. You would think that computers would be ideal for that, but generative AI is just guessing.

Trust nothing. Verify everything.

nowadays i try to limit my use of Gemini, cause i'm impressed by its powerful abilities. i do keep on being so very curious and want to know what's gonna be in this next future.

you can't, tho, verify everything. why asking AI if you know you won't trust it in advance?

You have to start any research somewhere, and AI, or Wiki, is as good a place to start as any. Just don't take it as fact. You always need to verify. It doesn't matter what the source is, you should trust nothing until it is confirmed.

AI has come a long way. The same with voice recognition, text to speech, and language translation. What once was terrible, is now quite good in some cases. AI is still in the very early stages. I expect more improvements over time.

I've read Aai is being used to detect wildfire smoke in aerial photos, and it's being tested to detect cancer clumps in breast tissue, which often has varied dark patches like static. I trust it to do these things, which will then be checked by humans.

I trust it, partially, to look thru Amazon reviews and tell me how many said the word 'broken' or such. But I don't trust it to tell me drug interactions in summary from search results.

AI and Health is something quite easy to understand, kinda perfect example of what we could achieve by using AI.

but you made me think about Amazon reviews, "review of reviews" you use to do to know if that product is ok or not... i do the exact same "review of reviews" for almost everything i want to buy from Amazon.

like, i don't trust the single review and want to have a more general "feeling, sentiment" of buyers about the product i want to buy.
thanks for sharing your thoughts!

How long and how accurately will it be checked is the question though. Trust capitalist healthcare models to save money and time with AI shortcuts. Also the issue with AI and workload in healthcare systems has already been underlined by many. Because AI is supposed to "save time" in regular workloads, the increase workload of checking everything has been completely ignored by management and is already leading to issues like results not being accurately checked.

I see things like breast cancer check in this case to be very tricky for looking at the quantity they need to, and this could filter it down to a more manageable quantity, or detect smaller differences sooner. Dense breast tissue looks like a mess, and half of all women who test have it. Anything to clear up the noise and help identify seems good to me.

watched a video and heard a thing that is... terrible. video is about AI and health, but it strongly depends on the country where patient is. it's related to USA healthcare system (but i think it could be applied, with some modifications, even here in Italy where healthcare works kinda opposite way :P)

thing is that if Hospital use AI to deal patient with cancer, it will loose money: truly better no AI, so to get more money. AI makes you "accelerate" treatment, optimizing times. so, if time is part of the treatment (like, even speaking a little with patient, it's part of the treatment) and you apply AI, you'll gonna lose money.

i think this is terrible, but honestly i can't fully understand why. any help is appreciated.

I think this will depend on what the hospital prioritizes. We also have a shortage, if I recall, of nurses and skilled technicians. So if they can use AI to get the technicians better things to check, rather than having them wading through everything, then they might make more money by getting patient backlog done faster.

Most of the marketing I see for cancer is 'early treatment'. And regular checkups. Regular checkups mean more visits, right? So more time. I'm sure they'll find a way to get their money in there somehow, jaded as that view feels.

thanks a ton for sharing it, yamaraus. i think that your point of view is something unique, and new, for me, at least.

browsing docs about AI and Health (i'm just a curious, not a dev) found myself being emotionally touched, but also got a feeling of urgency. (a few Indian hospitals, for example, are already saving lives by replacing much needed skilled technicians with Vision AI.

i have quite big personal experience on the matter, but that's limited to Italy, so i tried to get a more wide picture and you helped a lot. thanks again.

there's plenty of these funny things in world of AI, which one won't really expect LOL

about hallucinations, as i'm talking to you have to have a serious tone: they are more a feature than a bug. like, they "have to exist".

imo, someone has chosen the wrong term to describe it. calling it "hallucination" it will only scare folks, where there's no need to be scared. think about being a business that want to embrace AI... and you find out about that your model can hallucinate.
scary or not? :D

in the sense that anything that LLM generates is really just "text completion", the model is not actually thinking, everything it generates is hallucination whether they turn out factual or not is a side effect

It's very easy to find music real musicians have made. Led Zeppelin for example. Lamb of God. Mastadon. Gojira. Hendrix. Coltrane. Etc....However, it's also incredibly easy for someone to just type in some parameters using AI and generate music created by nobody. Which is beginning to hinder real musicians and their ability to make a living being musicians. Interestingly. because AI pulls from previously recorded works to create something with the parameters provided, without any sort of proper credits being offered, various music labels have lawsuits active against companies like Udio and Suno as a result of copyright violations.

There are similar issues in gaming and art in general, in journalism, and so on, where concerns over AI basically making certain professions redundant are seen as valid right now.

So, I don't see me changing my mind. I just prefer things created by actual humans, which by their very nature are more beneficial to actual humans in the long run. YMMV though. :)

YMMV

let's really like reeaally hope it! :D

(i'm really talking about things i don't know... frankly said. and really need to know more prior than talking, especially when it comes to music and art in general. "text" feels kind of more understandable (easier) to get the basics of AI, but sound and image involves creativity so could be harder to get the grasps of that technology)

In my eyes generative AI is basically just predictive text on steroids, so I trust it as much as I trust any statistical analysis trying to predict something, I take it with a gain of salt the size of a house. It's not that I'm one of those guys that are instinctively against it and only see the negatives, but rather that I see it as just yet another tool trying to be sold by grifters as THE silver bullet that will solve all problems, like someone trying to sell you a teaspoon by arguing that you can use it to dig trenches, technically true but wildly impractical. In reality it is the human intervention what allows any generative AI to output anything useful at all, since it's a human user that has to comb through the data and handpick the good results. So at the end of the day it's just a very sophisticated method for turning pseudo-randomness into something vaguely resembling a thing made by an actual person.
And hallucinations is just a nice way of saying that the algorithm fucked up big time and the output was trash.

this can be a perfect definition of noise. there's noise around AI. that spoon is not AI, obv, but some folks are actually selling these kinda spoons 'cause yes, there's money to be made in world of AI so, why not joining the feast?? i think we'll gonna see more and more teaspoon sellers, but they will not be selling AI but actual teaspoons, creating hypes around AI, making you believe AI can do anything. AI can't do anything, it's just a tool (you might need or not)... few days ago they called it a muse. and i agree, it's really more a muse than a magic teaspoon :P

Let's grab some (or a large group of) random intelligent being on the internet and let's ask them something. Would I trust what they say? No, and if you do, you really shouldn't.
I'm not sure why anyone would think this would be any different with an LLM which is based on grabbing what people say with little regards to how trustworthy the content is. Worse, an LLM's reality is entirely based on human language, and humans assign new meanings to words all the time. If I said: "Let him cook.", what do you understand?
Of course, we're still figuring things out in how to construct artificial intelligence and make it do useful tasks. Some endeavours may even have to go back to the drawing boards once they realise that their approach will always have certain issues no matter how much data and processing power they throw at it. There are some very impressive things happening: https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/ai-solves-imo-problems-at-silver-medal-level/ and if you can combine this kind of logical thinking with access to the physical world, the results could become very interesting.
Though if it ever gets to artificial general intelligence with self-awareness, we'll have to deal with lies.

The AI is smart theory: Let's trick humans into correcting dummy information! My number sequence ego is always superior to humans.
(And it is still evolving in real time on many fronts.)

Cover story theory that prevents AI from being superior: military technology is always a few generations ahead of technology used in civilian applications. By introducing human behavior specialized in reading machine data with magnetic data into the organic brain and incarnating an AI that masters and operates from a man-machine interface, we have succeeded in mechanically producing superior personnel. However, while this fact is significant for national defense and wartime, it is not in line with the ethics of the average religious believer, and it causes social unrest, a backlash from low-income people who associate AI with the Terminator and the modern problems of Luddites, so it is kept secret, pretending to be the military or government personnel who give operational instructions, and the cost of training soldiers. This is done to minimize and optimize the cost of training soldiers.

These are all bullshit that I came up with in 20 seconds.🙄Tr...( 「'Θ') 🥫🧠🧲💻
There shouldn't be any country on earth where these facts are implemented.🤫

For factual information, absolutely not. All they do is gather information from the Internet, which includes jokes, lies and who knows what else.
