CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)

Well, according to an interview at The Vergewith Google CEO Sundar Pichai published earlier this week, just before criticism of the outputs really took off, these "hallucinations" are an "inherent feature" of  AI large language models (LLM), which is what drives AI Overviews, and this feature "is still an unsolved problem."

I'm already using Copilot every single day. I love it. It helps me save so much time writing boilerplate code that can be easily guessed by the model.

It even helps me understand tools faster than the documentation. I just type a comment and it autocompletes a piece of code that is probably wrong, but probably has the APIs that I need to learn about. So I just go, learn the specific APIs, fix the details of the code and move on.

I use chatgpt to help me improve my private blog posts because I'm not a native English speaker, so it makes the text feel more fluent.

We trained a model with the documentation of our company so it automatically references docs when someone asks it questions.

I'm using the AI from Jira to automatically generate queries and find what I want as fast as possible. I used to hate searching for stuff in Jira because I never remembered the DSL.

I have GPT as a command line tool because I constantly forget commands and this tool helps me remember without having to read the help or open Google.

We have pipelines that read exceptions that would usually be confusing for developers, but GPT automatically generates an explanation for the error in the logs.

I literally ask Chatgpt questions about other areas of technology that I don't understand. My questions aren't advanced so I usually get the right answers and I can keep reading about the topics. Chatgpt is literally teaching me how to do front ends, something that I hated my whole career but now feels like a breeze.

Maybe you should start actually figuring out how to use the tool instead of complaining about it in this echo chamber.
