Hallucinations are still a problem. I recently asked one to give me a quote from a book, figuring that since these AI companies have pirated all books in existence surely it can just recite a specific passage no? It hallucinated the quote, I had even told it what chapter it was in. Had I not read the book recently maybe I would've believed the hallucinated quote.

And it got me thinking, they sell these AIs as assistants, but it couldn't even look up a passage from a book. This is basic, elementary stuff, it should get it right. I would have fired this assistant right away if it were a person. Not only did it get it totally wrong, it came to me with utmost confidence that this is the quote from the book. Unreliable assistants? That's the product they're trying to sell? Get out of here with that trash. I can't trust it.
