Bug: AI recommends a resource that cannot be found

Kenneth Neighoff

I received this message for further study in an AI generated outline-

Recommended Study: To deepen your exploration of the theme of truth, deception, and restoration in
1 John 1:5–10, consider studying the concept of self-deception in Christian theology using resources like 'Deceived by the Heart: Believing the Lies That Hurt Us' by David Reiss in Logos. Delve into the implications of confession and forgiveness for personal and communal restoration to enrich your understanding of John's message on the transformative power of walking in the light.



I cannot find this resource or the author's name in or on the Logos platform.  I cannot even find this resource on Amazon.

My grandfather was a mighty hunter.  He called such things "brush wiggles" and "sound shots." 

AI takes it's best shot which is often a brush wiggle or a sound shot. The Lord only knows what you might have hit!

Researcher, wear your bright orange hat and look out!

Thanks for the report. Avoiding hallucination entirely in AI is a tough problem to solve, but I'll look into this. Did you supply a Bible reference of 1 John 1:5-10, and a theme of "truth, deception, restoration", or was it something else?

Mark,

I just put in the Bible reference of 1 John 1:5-10.

The Transforming Power of Confession by R. Scott Hahn

These are often found together ... it wouldn't take much to conflate them

ChatGPT has done some astounding hallucinations of book titles and names of art works in response to questions I've given it. I don't think AI is ready for suggesting titles of things yet. It's too easy for it to pick up pieces of text and conflate them together, telling you that's a book title, when that's nonsense. Whoever writes the code for these things needs to make sure it knows what the concept of a title of a thing is and that it runs any titles it comes up with past a canonical list of all known titles of that sort of thing (book, article, poem, artwork, piece of music).

None of these names of artworks are real, and the last person he suggested died before the date of the supposed artwork by her. No, Van Gogh never painted sea turtles, nor did any of these others as far as I could tell. Granted, this was from last year, and ChatGPT has come a long way since then. But I took this and other similar snapshots to document how ridiculous it was at one point.
