Fake AI-Generated Biography Floods Amazon With Misinformation
By
–
Apparently I have an unauthorized biography that is 100% made up AI stuff, 118 pages of looping & repeating vagueness without any true facts. Just my official school biography used as a prompt. It manages to be both insane and boring. Amazon is getting completely overwhelmed.

Understanding True AI System Capabilities and Their Uncertainties
By
–
It is really hard to know the true capabilities of AI systems. There are no instructions. No one knows what is in the training data (even the AI labs don’t know the content of all the web pages, articles & books). And variability in prompts, seeds, and versions adds randomness.

Did the color of the brick really suggest that it was Georgetown and not Philly? I have no idea.
Do the shrubs suggest the US and not Europe? Maybe. Asking the AI how it thought is a request for it to justify, not truth. The mystery remains -

Claude Identifies Georgetown House: Real Understanding or Hallucination?
By

Example of why working with AI both so impressive and so challenging: I show Claude a picture of a house in Georgetown that shouldn't be in its training set. It nails it (GPT-4 does too) I ask it why Georgetown? Its answers seem great, but could all be hallucinated justification
