Why is no one talking about how unproductive it is to have to verify every "hallucination" ChatGPT gives you? (lemmy.world)

Because in a lot of applications you can bypass hallucinations.

getting sources for something
as a jump off point for a topic
to get a second opinion
to help argue for r against your position on a topic
get information in a specific format

In all these applications you can bypass hallucinations because either it's task is non-factual, or it's verifiable while promoting, or because you will be able to verify in any of the superseding tasks.

Just because it makes shit up sometimes doesn't mean it's useless. Like an idiot friend, you can still ask it for opinions or something and it will definitely start you off somewhere helpful.

so, basically, even a broken clock is right twice a day?

No, maybe more like, even a functional clock is wrong every 0.8 days.

The frequency is probably way higher for most LLMs though lol
