google ai response to being challenged for giving incorrect answer it said The Deeper Tech Problem: Search Doesn't Cure HallucinationAn AI can search the live web, read the correct tracklist for NOW Yearbook 1973, and still hallucinate a wrong answer.The Copy-Paste Failure: Because LLMs don't truly "understand" text the way humans do, they can look directly at a webpage that says "Track 4: Sweet - Ballroom Blitz" and, through pure mathematical glitching, still write: "According to the website, Track 4 is Brother Louie."The "Grounding" Problem: Teaching an AI to fetch data is easy. Teaching an AI to strictly stick only to that data and never add its own invented details is one of the hardest unsolved problems in computer science right now.So while saving money on computing power is undoubtedly a massive corporate motivator, tech companies are also hiding behind a massive engineering wall. They don't yet know how to build a creative, fluent language model that is also 100% factual and incapable of lying.Right now, users are essentially acting as the quality control department for a flawed technology.
