I donated to CAIS. While AI is here to stay, it needs some oversight.

Garbage In, Garbage Out is an old phrase we need to be reminded of when AI gives recommendations based on the same old, same old, when that includes inherent biases and mere ramblings scraped from the web.

I’m not sure why AI is known to “hallucinate” or invent citations for scientific papers or legal proceedings when it could just look it up in well known databases, but, of course, using the latter often means actually having to pay to access carefully curated data.

Making stuff up is much easier, especially when “what words are most likely to follow each other in response to this set of criteria” is the go to model of AI, including large language models, where “somebody somewhere said something like this” is the sole criterion for inclusion.

I’m not trying to bring politics into this thread, but Michael Cohen just irritated a judge because his lawyer used what Cohen gave him:

“Michael Cohen gave lawyer fraudulent case citations generated by AI”
thehill.com

Cohen argues that he is a non-lawyer, and expected that his (presumably well paid) lawyer would vet the citations before presenting them in legal filings. Oops.
