Though false, the answers seemed plausible as they blurred and conflated people, events and ideas. Google’s Bard and Microsoft’s Bing chatbots both repeatedly provided inaccurate answers to the same question. “If you don’t know an answer to a question already, I would not give the question to one of these systems,” said Subbarao Kambhampati, a professor and researcher of artificial intelligence at Arizona State University.ĬhatGPT wasn’t alone in erring on the first reference to A.I. Even researchers within tech companies worry that people will rely too heavily on these systems for medical and legal advice and other information they use to make daily decisions. The tech industry often refers to the inaccuracies as “hallucinations.” But to some researchers, “hallucinations” is too much of a euphemism.
That uncertainty has raised concerns about the reliability of this new kind of artificial intelligence and calls into question how useful it can be until the issue is solved or controlled. It does not decide what is true and what is not. The technology, called generative A.I., relies on a complex algorithm that analyzes the way humans put words together on the internet. But there is no way of ensuring that these systems produce information that is accurate. And they could change the way people interact with information. It’s a terrific read.Chatbots like ChatGPT are used by hundreds of millions of people for an increasingly wide array of tasks, including email services, online tutors and search engines. A wildly absorbing and propulsive look at what happens when good people do bad things and the unimaginable ripple effects of one tragic event. “Susan Walter’s debut novel is a masterful, superbly constructed thriller with high tension and clever twists, but also vital heart and soul.

Bruce Cameron, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Dog’s Purpose and A Dog’s Courage From the daringly original premise to the shocking climax, you’ll never see the plot twists coming until you turn the page. “Susan Walter’s debut novel is so full of surprises it should come with a warning label.
