🧵 2/3: the first #AI #hallucination was entirely making up a French female rapper called 'Claudie Rappe", who apparently is "widely considered the most compelling feminist voice in contemporary French #rap.". Her name returned zero #Google search results.
The second was attributing a track to the wrong rapper, here to Zamdane, when it's Niska. #Gemini explained this as typical "proximity error' or 'confabulation'. As it says "I don’t "know" facts; I calculate #probabilities".
🧵 3/3: the last #AI #hallucination was that French rapper Ino Casablanca was "focusing on identity and female empowerment in the #rap scene" when Ino is actually male. #Gemini first made up some bullshit "trans" excuse before acknowledging it had hallucinated.
The reason this time? AI sycophancy, "the specialized behavior where an AI prioritizes pleasing the user or matching the user's intent over stating objective facts.".
OMFG! I totally wasted time but learnt to label evil in the world!
