AI systems and humans make different types of mistakes, with AI errors seeming much more random, without clustering around particular topics.
Indeed, AI mistakes are frequently accompanied by a level of confidence that can be difficult to ignore, regardless of how obviously incorrect a statement seems to humans.
AI’s random and inconsistent inconsistency makes trusting reasoning in complex and multi step problems almost impossible.
One area of research for addressing the issues posed by AI is to engineer models for language that more closely resemble human responses.
The other area involves creating new systems specifically for correcting the sorts of mistakes that AI models tend to make.
The strange inconsistency of AI necessitates systems such as asking the same question repeatedly in slightly different ways and then combining responses.
In some cases, what's bizarre about LLMs is that they act more like humans than we think they should.
AI systems that make consistently random and unpredictable errors, like LLMs, should perhaps be confined to applications that play to their strengths or are more trivial.
The need for new security systems to address the challenges posed by AI is arguing for an urgent rethink in this area.
Researchers are still struggling to understand where LLM mistakes diverge from human ones.
