A question for the AI "experts": are hallucinations and reliability genuinely improving, or are we starting to plateau? Everything depends on this...
Summary
A non-expert poses the critical question of whether AI hallucinations and reliability are genuinely improving or plateauing, arguing that real success depends on whether regular users can delegate tasks with high confidence rather than just treating AI as an upgraded search or summarization tool. The post cites OpenAI's new Dot assistant as an example that still hallucinates and behaves clumsily despite impressive marketing.
