LLM 'relationships' pose risks: hallucinations, RAG, and over-permissioning

The article discusses the potential for users to develop unhealthy attachments to Large Language Models (LLMs), likening it to a relationship with "red flags." It highlights issues like hallucinations, where models confidently present incorrect information, and the complexities introduced by Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which pulls in external data, making it harder to discern the LLM's own reasoning. The piece also warns about risks like data poisoning, prompt injection, and over-permissioning when LLMs are given the ability to take actions, leading to a loss of user control and unclear intentions.
