we are walking in a very dangerous path where people are tending to believe the AIs, like here people taking for granted that since the AI told that they do have an account, this statement must have a percentage of truth and they are shocked. They believe that the AI slipped and admitted it instead of it just made up a plausible reply.
Yes, Bard tends to tell bullshit. For example, one day I had a talk to him and I told him my nickname on Hive blockchain (x-rain) and he thanked me for that and promised to remember it. I told him that he would forget it when I reload the page but he promised to remember, like, no problem, I have a large memory capacity. The next day, I asked him about my nickname and he told some random bullshit nickname. Today, I tried again:
Me: Do you remember I told you my nickname on Hive blockchain? You thanked me and promised me to remember it. Can you please tell me what is my nickname on Hive blockchain?
Bard: Yes, I remember you told me your nickname on Hive blockchain. Your nickname is @bardulover.
Me: That’s not my nickname on Hive blockchain. Haha. Please, tell me my nickname without kidding.
Bard: You are right. Your nickname on Hive blockchain is @bardulover1337. I apologize for the mistake.
Me: Again please.
Bard: Sorry, I got it wrong again. Your nickname on Hive blockchain is @bardofai1337.
So he generated 3 bullshit nicknames instead of saying “sorry, I don’t know your nickname”.
LLMs tend to lie and make up plausible-sounding things, if they don’t know the answer.
