Full title: ‘Show How 3M Is 0% at Fault:’ Expert Witness Used ChatGPT to Write Report Defending Company in Deadly Explosion Lawsuit / ChatGPT prompts show how an expert witness report was created in a $61 million lawsuit over an explosion that killed three people.
LLMs (especially Gemini) have a tendency to hallucinate things from extant references, especially with a huge blob of spammy search results in context.
Even with a real reference, you have to be careful.
…TBH, I’ve been fighting fire with fire. Sometimes I get local Qwen 27B to point to the relevant bit in a reference. If there is one.
That’s sort of what I meant. It’s not just the existence of the reference. It’s the fraudulent nature of it.
gemini mostly gets thier data from reddit anyways, hence the recent aggressiveness in reddit forcing logins, they likely mined all the data they could from genuine users, and need more new content.
