Especially since the stats saying that they're wrong about 53% of the time are right there.

That's right around 9% lower than the statistic that 62% of all statistics on the Internet are made up on the spot!

I wish I had the source on hand, but you'll just have to trust my word - after all, 47% of the time, it's right 100% of the time!

Joking aside, I do wish I had the link to the study as it was cited in an article from earlier this year about AI making stuff up even when it cited sources (literally lying about what was in the sources it claimed it got the info from) and how the companies behind these AI collectively shrugged their shoulders and said "there's nothing we can do about it" when asked what they intend to do about these "hallucinations," as they call them.

I do hope you can find it! It's especially strange that the companies all implied that there was no answer (especially considering that reducing hallucinations has been one of the primary goals over the past year!) Maybe they meant that there was no answer at the moment. Much like how the wright Brothers had no way to control the random pitching and rolling of their aircraft and had no answer to it. (Of course the invention of the aileron would fix that later.)
