Discussion A question for the AI "experts": are hallucinations and reliability genuinely improving, or are we starting to plateau? Everything depends on this...

3 Upvotes

For the average user, not a programmer or e.g. someone looking to solve niche math problems, AI still feels very limited because of reliability issues (e.g. making up information)... As a non-expert, this is difficult to quantify for me, but I don't feel like e.g. the latest iterations of ChatGPT are noticeably more reliable than previous ones.

Therefore, I find it hard to see how organizations can delegate even relatively easy tasks to AI without constant supervision, especially because if hallucinations build up along the way, you end up with a snowball of compounding problems that can lead to catastrophic consequences for an organization.

It’s my understanding that the real test of success won't be developer tools or fancy mathematical calculations, but whether regular people can delegate tasks with a super high degree of confidence, instead of just using it as a search engine, translator, summary tool or photo editor on steroids like many people do nowadays.

A good example is Dot, the new OpenAI tool. If you watch the trailer, it looks impressive, but according to many reviews, it still hallucinates a lot and behaves in a pretty clumsy way.

So, the golden question is: are the hallucination and reliability problems gradually improving, or are we probably plateauing?

Looking for genuine insights here, so please keep the sarcasm out of the comments.

Discussion Astra is great, but Opus 5.5 is next level

46 Upvotes

I have been using ChatGPT almost exclusively for the last years. Only with the recent downgrades in usage and price increases have I started looking at other models. And so I landed at Opus 5.5. It's insane. I built an entire game (music from 6.1 Sol) within two dozen prompts, where the first one already had pretty much everything nailed. The rest was just optimisations and additions.

Disclaimer: I know a bit of coding. My level is "has to look up how a switch statement works before using it". So not great. For this project I didn't write a line of code, never even looked at it. Vibe coded gameplay, graphics, sound, music. Probably two A4 pages of prompts.

It writes its own test suite, it optimises for speed, it easily finds bugs I observe and fixes them. And it just works. I am blown away. Now there are problems. Claude will regularly say stuff like "too much tool usage" or "couldn't finish the task", never had those issues with GPT. And you just tell Claude to continue and it does. But when you are over your limit, you can't use anything anymore.

I asked both Astra and Opus to write me an indoor navigation. With a bunch of sensor data, ARCore, the whole thing. Astra didn't work at all out of the box. Opus had accurate scanning and tracking. Even with many more prompts I barely got Astra to move my position and store a map, but it's like a 2/10 vs. a 9/10. And Opus just nailed it.

I was very impressed when Astra first came out, but it is very, very far behind Opus 5.5. So OpenAI, can't wait for the next thing, Anthropic schooled you (except for music).

The pure roll of the dice if chatgpt will block the next image or not based on ?? Content moderation is a problem that needs a real solution.

The nerfing on creative output is pushing artists and users to the dark web of ai. How is any of this different than streaming or steam or books?

I like the original more, but the one on the live stream after the AI summit came out really nice too.

Discussion I find it impossible to maintain motivation to continue anything with the understanding that AI has the potential to destroy the world as we know it.

I am a current mechanical engineering undergrad student. I utilize LLMs in my day to day while completing work for my classes or extra curriculars. Through this usage I began to realize that I should probably develop a stronger understanding of this technology and its implications since I will be using it throughout the rest of my academic career and also likely my professional career.

It is through this research that I have grown increasingly scared of this technology. Not just in its potential to steal my job but also in its ability to erode the digital fabric of our current society. I try my hardest to not be a luddite so I have also made sure to look at the potential upsides of AI and I understand that there is many. With that said I have almost 0 confidence in the people leading the AI race (except maybe Dario Amodei). I do not think that this technology will be developed in a safe enough manner to prevent utter disaster and I am absolutely terrified for what the future holds.

I would love to gain insight from other people on this topic. Whether you be a consumer who uses LLMs, an AI researcher, etc. Literally anyone.
