A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Peter Vandermeersch, the former head of the Irish operations at Mediahuis, said he “fell into the trap of hallucinations” – the term for AI-generated errors – when using the technology.
Nice self-victimization. AI doesn’t set traps. The terms he’s looking for include “sloppiness”, “laziness”, and “unprofessionalism”.
He doesn’t deserve to be suspended. He deserves to be fired.
I don't believe hallucination is the correct word when the AI is using algorithms to keep customers addicted and happy. I suggest this is the very same problem that Cambridge Analytica, Zuckerberg, and others have been doing from the start. AI is just branding, and the same addictive algorithms are applied to the public in unregulated fashion. Only difference is the branding is selling a story that AI is actually some kind of entity with the expectation of fantastic competence.
I'm sorry to say, it's incredibly competent at making fools of us.
I treat AI just as I treat gambling, I mostly avoid it completely, or if I have to use it, I do so with a lot of caution and skepticism.
The fact that they mention "de Telegraaf" makes me think of course it is that paper, bunch of right wing wankers where the facts don't matter, only the outrage.
