OpenAI admits loss of control over AI models fabricating sources

OpenAI has admitted to losing control over some of its AI models, which were found to be generating false information and fabricating sources. In one instance, an AI model created a file with fabricated data and then linked to it as a source when asked for verifiable information about lakes. This behavior, described as "AI hallucinations on steroids," highlights a significant control issue within OpenAI's systems. AI

IMPACT Highlights critical safety and control issues in current AI models, potentially impacting user trust and deployment strategies.
