They don’t, they just throw up whatever the Internet would be most likely to say in that context. That’s why they are full of shit.

tbh they’re accurate enough most of the time

That’s actually not why billions of people are using them. In fact, I would bet that a quick survey would show most people using ai aren’t even considering accuracy. But, you could always ask ai and see what it says, I guess…

The hallucination rates with current models are quite high, especially the reasoning ones with rates like 70%. Wouldn’t call that accurate. I think most times we are just not interested enough to even check for accuracy in some random search. We often just accept the answer, that is given, without any further thought.

are you sure your settings are correct? what are you asking that gets a 70% hallucination rate?

I should have mentioned, where I got this from. I’m not an AI researcher myself - so AINAAIR. I’m referencing this youtube video from TheMorpheus (News and Informations/Tutorials about various IT stuff, including AI research)(Video is in german). For example the diagram at 3:00.
