why did it? because it's intrinsic to how it works. This is not a solvable problem.
It's a solveable problem. AI is currently at a stage of development equivalent to a 2-year-old, just with better grammar. Everything it is doing now is mimicry and babbling.
It needs to feed it's own interactions right back into it's training data. To become a better and better mimic. Eventually, the mechanism it uses to select the appropriate data to form a response will become more and more sophisticated, and it will hallucinate less and less. Eventually, it's hallucinations will be seen as "insightful" rather than wild ass guesses.
The outputs of the nn are sampled using a random process. Probability distribution is decided by the llm, loaded die comes after the llm. No, it's not solvable. Not with LLMs. not now, not ever.
