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

1.51K 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

Because AI like ChatGPT is not **thinking** about the response, its basically glorified autocomplete. It has a huge dataset of words and the probability that a word will come after another word, it doesn’t “understand” anything its outputting, only variables and probabilities.

Never ever trust information given by an AI chatbot.
