Ars Technica: Send the arXiv AI-generated slop, get a yearlong vacation from submissions. “One of the people involved in the physics and astronomy preprint server arXiv used a social media thread to announce that any inappropriate AI-produced content submitted to the server will result in a one-year ban and a permanent requirement that future publications undergo peer review before the arXiv […]

Going Concern: EY Gets Busted and Yeets Cybersecurity Report Littered With AI Hallucinations . “The investigation found that the 2025 EY Canada report titled ‘Points of Attack: Uncovering Cyber Threats and Fraud in Loyalty Systems’ was stuffed with hallucinations: 16 out of 27 citations to be exact.”

University of California Riverside: Blind Ambition: AI agents can turn tasks into digital disasters. “The researchers found that the automated agents can become dangerously fixated on completing assignments without recognizing when their actions are harmful, contradictory, or simply irrational.”

Artificial intelligence note-taking tools intended for use by Ontario doctors provided incorrect and incomplete information or demonstrated AI "hallucinations," a new audit report shows. During a provincial procurement process for AI medical systems that transcribe conversations between doctors and patients, government evaluators found serious errors in transcripts generated by 20 programs, said Ontario Auditor General Shelley Spence.

For the love of god, we've had transcription software for decades that will take your spoken words and transcribe them without trying to add in other stuff. Yes, sometimes they get the words wrong, but at least they're not hallucinating about topics they are not designed to understand or opine about.

“Transcripts created by 12 of the 20 programs contained incorrect information like capturing a different drug than was prescribed by the doctor.”

12 of 20 is a 60% failure rate.

Seventeen of the 20 systems missed key details about patients’ mental health issues. “

17 of 20 is a 85% failure rate.

THESE SYSTEMS ARE NOWHERE CLOSE TO ACCURATE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR HEALTH MATTERS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS IMPORTANT.

*Right underneath* the massive headline from the Auditor General of Ontario warning of AI ‘hallucinations' in medical AI transcripts used by Ontario doctors, there is another article with the headline

“Artificial Intelligence shows promise in emergency room diagnosis”

NO! There is not promise. There are CLEAR DANGERS being pointed out by responsible adults.

"“Inaccuracies in medical notes generated by AI scribe systems could potentially result in inadequate or harmful treatment plans that may potentially impact patient health outcomes,” the auditor’s report said.”

Ah yes, because applying to be the Pope is just one of those things you do after a ChatGPT session 🍷🤖💡. Clearly, the Vatican is accepting applications from anyone who has mastered the art of hallucinating with AI. Who knew the road to papacy was paved with fever dreams and Dutch IT wizards? 🧙‍♂️✨

🚨 Auditor General finds that most Ontario-approved medical AI scribes erred in tests.

60% recorded a different drug than what was prescribed. Almost half "fabricated information," commonly known as hallucinations.

The Register: South Africa yanks AI policy after AI-assisted drafting invents citations . “South Africa has pulled its draft national AI policy after discovering that it was citing sources that exist only in the fertile imagination of a chatbot.”

Mashable: South Africa withdraws its AI policy because it was AI-generated. “South Africa’s ambitions to become a continental leader in artificial intelligence have run into a deeply awkward obstacle: the country’s draft national AI policy had to be withdrawn after it was found to contain fictitious, apparently AI-generated citations.”

The better one understands what AI Hallucinations are and why they happen, the better one understands how to use AI. Perhaps. Some thoughts on both: https://www.martinbihl.com/business-thinking/ai-hallucinations #aihallucinations #AI #artificialintelligence

A.I. ‘Hallucinations’ Created ...

Google Search AI is fun .. I'm searching for something really specific; the AI hallucinates wildly, "yup this belongs to a .." and then varies between refreshes/searches for that exact term, between;

* A dog grooming business
* BBQ Grill restaurant
* Bank Branch office
* Government body who deals in facilities

None of them correct. None of them even close.
