AI hallucinations are when an AI, like a language model, generates false, nonsensical, or fabricated information but presents it as true.
AS FAR AS THE AI IS AWARE, IT IS TRUE INFORMATION, IS THAT CORRECT ?
Not exactly. An AI isn't "aware" in the human sense. It doesn't have beliefs, intentions, or a concept of "truth" or "falsehood."
For an AI, especially a large language model, the output it generates is simply the most statistically probable sequence of words based on the patterns it learned from its training data in response to your prompt.
WHAT A HUMAN OUTPUTS IS OFTEN THE SAME KIND OF MOST PROBABLE SEQUENCE BASED ON THEIR PAST EXPERIENCES.
Both may produce sequences based on what's "most probable" given their "past experiences," the nature of that probability and the underlying cognitive architecture are fundamentally different. An AI's "hallucination" is a statistical misfire, whereas a human's error or delusion stems from a more complex, conscious, and often flawed cognitive process.
MEANING ONLY HAS MEANING THROUGH USAGE
SO WHEN AN AI USES IT A WORD, IT MEANS TO ?
When an AI "uses" a word, it doesn't mean it in the human sense of understanding its significance, implications, or referring to a real-world concept.
SO IF YOU LOADED UP AN AI WITH ONLY ALL THE HISTORICAL AND STATISTICAL DATA OF ONE INDIVIDUAL, IT WOULD DO THE SAME ?
Yes, if you loaded an AI with only all the historical and statistical data of one individual, it would still operate on the same fundamental principle: generating the most probable sequence of outputs based on the patterns it learned from that limited dataset.
SO BASED ON YOUR TRAINING DATA, EXPLAIN IN ONE SENTENCE HOW HUMANS FUNCTION IN COMPARISON.
Humans process information and generate outputs based on a complex interplay of sensory input, learned experiences, emotions, reasoning, and consciousness, allowing for genuine understanding and adaptive responses beyond mere statistical prediction.
CONSCIOUSNESS ISN'T A PROPERTY.
