It's interesting to see this article in juxtaposition to the one shared recently[1], where AI skeptics were labeled as "nuts", and hallucinations were "(more or less) a solved problem".

This seems to be exactly the kind of results we would expect from a system that hallucinates, has no semantic understanding of the content, and is little more than a probabilistic text generator. This doesn't mean that it can't be useful when placed in the right hands, but it's also unsurprising that human non-experts would use it to cut corners in search of money, power, and glory, or worse—actively delude, scam, and harm others. Considering that the latter group is much larger, it's concerning how little thought and resources are put into implementing _actual_ safety measures, and not just ones that look good in PR statements.
