How could that prove hallucinations? It could only possibly prove that they are not. If the quotes are in the original post then they are not hallucinations. If they are not in the post they could be caused by something is not a LLM.
Misquotes and fabricated quotes have existed long before AI, And indeed, long before computers.
How could reading the original blog post prove hallucinations??! Now you've moved the goalposts to defending your failure to read the original blog post, by denying it's possible to know anything at all for sure, so why bother reading.
So you STILL have not read the original blog post. Please stop bickering until AFTER you have at least done that bare minimum of trivial due diligence. I'm sorry if it's TL;DR for you to handle, but if that's the case, then TL;DC : Too Long; Don't Comment.
There is no goalpost moving here.
I read the article.
My claim is as it has always been. If we accept that the misquotes exist it does not follow that they were caused by hallucinations? To tell that we would still need additional evidence. The logical thing to ask would be; Has it been shown or admitted that the quotes were hallucinations?
