  • LLM results are impressive but highlight inherent limitations, particularly flexibility in transferring knowledge from one set of data to another, which brings about artificial hallucinations.

    “Results are impressive, but they also highlight inherent limitations, particularly the flexibility in transferring knowledge from one set of data to another, which also bring about states of ‘artificial hallucinations’”

    From Active inference goes to school: the importance of active learning in the age of large language models (2024) · cites this paper as [66]

    In the main text (page not provided), Beutel et al. express enthusiasm about GPT’s potential while warning that LLMs can produce artificial hallucinations. They discuss possible reasons, including outdated training data and inconsistent sources, but do not identify flexibility in transferring knowledge between datasets as the cause. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
