LLM Hallucinations Mirror Human Inefficiencies in Information Access

Large Language Models (LLMs) are often criticized for hallucination, a trait that mirrors human tendencies. This observation is highlighted by a user's experience attempting to retrieve documents for a thesis, where an archive cited an "undue burden" and denied access to external researchers. The situation draws a parallel between the limitations of LLMs and the practical difficulties encountered in accessing information, suggesting that LLMs may simply accelerate existing human inefficiencies. AI

IMPACT LLMs may amplify existing human challenges in information retrieval and access, rather than introducing entirely new problems.
