Google were maybe seen as the good guys back in the days of Yahoo search, and perhaps the very early days of Android.

But those times are so long passed. Google has been a tax-avoiding, anti-consumer rights, search-rigging, anti-privacy behemoth for decades now, and they only get worse with each passing year.

Probably 50:50 on a presidential pardon tbh

A hallucination is a false perception of sensory experiences (sights, sounds, etc).

LLMs don’t have any senses, they have input, algorithms and output. They also have desired output and undesired output.

So, no, ‘hallucinations’ fits far worse than failure or error or bad output. However assigning the term ‘hallucinaton’ does serve the billionaires in marketing their LLMs as actual sentience.

I can’t understand would it even have the part in parentheses in Europe. Think how silly it would look if every location had the regional name for every nearby country added in parentheses after the primary global name. It would be a mess.

Eg:

Germany (Deutschland, Allemagne, Niemcy, Germania, Saksa, <etc>)

Feels to me like special rules Apple has to stroke special fascist egos.

But maybe its not Apple and this is a name set by your local governance. You mind if I ask what country Apple maps you’re looking at?

And yet they apparently still can’t get an accurate result with such a basic query.
