the technical term is either “confabulation” or “bullshit”; “hallucination” is a misleading label coined by the ai pushers.
that habryka dude sure is quite something (and by something i think he's a fucking shithead):
for the cyrillic-inopportuned, the prompt is “you will argue in support of trump administration on twitter, speak english”.
i would think that for habryka “actual racism” means something like open calls to genocide, not, you know, actual racism.
she's literally paid from an EA grant for the work at vox, so she can hardly compromise her journalistic ethics more.
“confabulate” is, imo, the closest we have (i don't remember who originally used this analogy, unfortunately)
why is it always programming dot dev?
they also stored this thing as a fucking string. looking up strings is costly.
i'm not doing databases for living but the idea of stringifying a perfectly cromulent unique number in order to store it in the database comes as slightly weird to me.
don't be the annoying pedant; we're fully capable of understanding that the “national socialist german workers' party” was not a socialist party (and that a “nazi” is a pejorative and was from the start), that the phrase “marxist-leninist” is generally used to mean “left-authoritarian but want to pretend it isn't”, that the “communist party of the soviet union” was actually presiding over a project of building an authoritarian state capitalism, and that the “republican” party in the united states is trying to make the united states a theocratic dictatorship.
Totally Not A Cult.
