It’s all hallucinations.
Some (many) just happen to be very close to factual.
It’s sad to see that the marketing of these tools has been so effective that few realize how they work and what they do.
It really is sad. I often hear, "I even asked ChatGPT and it said..." as if that means their response is valid. I've heard people say it who I thought would know better, too.
The number of times I've heard that by people expecting it to win them arguments is incredibly discouraging.
Infuriating. It's like an oracle. Except in late antique literature you can see that nobody that firmly believed in what oracles say (that'd be disciples making notes according to some procedure kept secret, probably involving mind-affecting substances, but also mathematics - you can already see how this is similar to LLMs), it was like visiting a known attraction, interesting - wow, I've been at the Delphi oracle, I've received an advice there.
And today those herds of unbelievable fools are less sane that that antique public.
