eli5 : Why does ai like ChatGPT or Llama 3 make things up and fabricate answers?

1.54K viewsOtherTechnology

I asked it for a list of restaurants in my area using google maps and it said there is a restaurant (Mug and Bean) in my area and even used a real address but this restaurant is not in my town. Its only in a neighboring town with a different street address

I recently attended an event where the head of the Microsoft Copilot team was the keynote speaker. During her presentation she stressed that the biggest issue with AI being adopted was that people were using it like a search engine. This is your problem. ChatGPT and Llama3 are not built to search the internet for you. It’s like using a screwdriver to hammer a nail, you’re using the tool wrong. These tools are meant to be used to create new ideas. The other posts talk about HOW the tools create new ideas, but the key take away here is that these are GENERATIVE tools. That’s what the ‘G’ stands for in ChatGPT. Ask them to create a meal plan for your specific dietary needs or create a new recipe given a list of ingredients. Do not ask them to find you a restaurant to eat at.
