Chatbots don't *want* anything and don't *recognize* anything.
LLMs can't take responsibility for their mistakes. When a human journalist puts their name on AI-written text, they take on that responsibility.
Increasingly I see inaccurate and badly written news stories authored by AI, many of which have actual humans listed as authors or editors.
📚 How good are language models at utilising contexts in RAG scenarios?
We release 🧙🏽♀️DRUID to facilitate studies of context usage in real-world scenarios.

What if LLMs knew when to stop? 🚧
HALT finetuning teaches LLMs to only generate content they’re confident is correct.
🔍 Insight: Post-training must be adjusted to the model’s capabilities.
⚖️ Tunable trade-off: Higher correctness 🔒 vs. More completeness 📝

#AI hallucinations are a problem; #UWAllen Ph.D. student @akariasai.bsky.social may have the answer. She was named a @techreviewjp.bsky.social Innovator Under 35 for her work to make #LLMs more transparent and useful—without making stuff up. #IU35 #AIforGood
