AI model trained on faulty documentation generates incorrect code

A developer discovered that a fine-tuned GPT model for a meteorological API was trained on inaccurate documentation, leading it to generate incorrect R code. The model confidently produced code for non-existent variables and used outdated date ranges, despite the API returning errors or silently clipping requests. This highlights the risk of relying solely on API documentation for training data, as the documentation itself may not accurately reflect the system's current state or capabilities. AI

IMPACT Highlights the critical need for data validation in AI training, especially when using documentation as a source.
