I also think we as a society are leaning more dangerously into this idea of "easy" and "painless" in which we don't allow anything to go even remotely wrong, and that blends right into the idea of an AI chatbot affirming everything we say and preventing us from admitting weaknesses to others

Credit where it's due, this is how I became aware of its existence.
I'll always think of how the gradual transformation of the idea has left Animal Crossing, a life sim series,with NPCs who are no longer allowed to be initially rude to the player, everyone kisses the ground the player steps on, people aren't even allowed to move without permission
wholesome games being more and more wholesome feels like we accidentally optimized ourselves into purity culture too
worlds where housework, gardening, and getting married are the expectation and no one is allowed to be problematic
I love βcozy gamesβ on an individual level but βcozyβ used to include replaying resident evil 2 for the 5th time
now as a genre itβs starting to feel like it is locking people into aesthetic tradwife boot camp

Nav Toor @heynavtoor π¨BREAKING: OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up. Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math. Even with perfect training data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false. This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level. And their own numbers are brutal. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model hallucinates 16% of the time. Their newer o3 model? 33%. Their newest o4-mini? 48%. Nearly half of what their most recent model tells you could be fabricated. The "smarter" models are actually getting worse at telling the truth.
Here's why it can't be fixed. Language models work by predicting the next word based on probability. When they hit something uncertain, they don't pause. They don't flag it. They guess. And they guess with complete confidence, because that's exactly what they were trained to do. The researchers looked at the 10 biggest AI benchmarks used to measure how good these models are. 9 out of 10 give the same score for saying "I don't know" as for giving a completely wrong answer: zero points. The entire testing system literally punishes honesty and rewards guessing. So the AI learned the optimal strategy: always guess. Never admit uncertainty. Sound confident even when you're making it up. OpenAI's proposed fix? Have ChatGPT say "I don't know" when it's unsure. Their own math shows this would mean roughly 30% of your questions get no answer. Imagine asking ChatGPT something three times out of ten and getting "I'm not confident enough to respond." Users would leave overnight. So the fix exists, but it would kill the product.
This isn't just OpenAI's problem. DeepMind and Tsinghua University independently reached the same conclusion. Three of the world's top AI labs, working separately, all agree: this is permanent. Every time ChatGPT gives you an answer, ask yourself: is this real, or is it just a confident guess?
β οΈTold you so moment:
OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up [...] Always.
They proved it with math.
[...] This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level.
