    The two most common reasons I hear are 1) no trust in the companies hosting the tools to protect consumers and 2) rampant theft of IP to train LLM models.

    My reason is that you can’t trust the answers regardless. Hallucinations are a rampant problem. Even if we managed to cut it down to 1/100 query will hallucinate, you can’t trust ANYTHING. We’ve seen well trained and targeted AIs that don’t directly take user input (so can’t be super manipulated) in google search results recommending that people put glue on their pizzas to make the cheese stick better… or that geologists recommend eating a rock a day.

    If a custom tailored AI can’t cut it… the general ones are not going to be all that valuable without significant external validation/moderation.

      Basically no. What you’re calling tailored AI is actually low cost AI. You’ll be hard pressed, on the other hand, to get ChatGPT o3 to hallucinate at all

          I stand corrected thank you for sharing

          I was commenting based on anecdotal experience and I didn’t know where was a test specifically for this

          I do notice that o3 is more overconfident and tends to find a source online from some forum and treat it as gospel

          Which, while not correct, I would not treat as hallucination

      There is also the argument that a downpour of AI generated slop is making the Internet in general less usable, hurting everyone (except the slop makers) by making true or genuine information harder to find and verify.
