Hopefully that is the case, because what Google and others are trying via AI, is to privatize the web. They already tried it via AMP.

People are probably annoyed that AI/LLMs are lying to them, so not everyone sees the main threat being Google trying to containerize and "walled garden" approach access to information.

Well, many people pointed out that AI lies. We can have two reasons for this:

1) deliberate 2) a feature of how AI works

I think it is mostly 1), but 2) could also factor in, because if ALL AI is lying, then probably something is wrong with how AI works right now. Since they prefer to hallucinate. But AI could be made stricter and not hallucinate, so I think 1) is the main issue.

Do you have a source for this? So far every single LLM-like does a lot of hallucinating, often just small things like wording that implies stronger correlations than exist, or wording that implies relationships that don't exist, etc. but sometimes it's also just wrong facts.

Which lab is going to stop AI from hallucinating first?

What’s taking them so long? If OpenAI was going to do it, why didn’t Anthropic do it first, or vice versa? Or if we assume collusion: shouldn’t DeepSeek have released a hallucination-free LLM to steal the US’s thunder?

(Good points on AMP and walled garden)

the whole point of an llm is to generate "plausible sounding" tokens one after each other.

It can sadly not hold any concept of truth or reality as we humans understand it

We’ll be awaiting a source a while! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48873333
