"I just found out that it's been hallucinating numbers this entire time."No one should be surprised.
It is mathematically impossible to stop an LLM from “hallucinating” because “hallucinating” is what LLMs are doing 100% of the time.
It’s only human beings who distinguish (ideally) between correct and incorrect synthetic text.
And yet, it’s like forbidden candy to a child. Even well educated, thoughtful people so desperately want to believe that this tech “works”

Have you wondered where the claim that autistic people lack empathy came from?Everyone tends to have some basic first principles about morality that they are attached to prior to doing any reading in the subject.
For example: Intentions > consequences, Consequences > intentions, Individuals > collective, Collective > individuals, Tradition > relevant facts, Relevant facts > tradition, etc.
These intuitions can vary wildly between people who otherwise seem similar. Plus they often vary by context.
But how often are researchers aware of and accounting for their own intuitions? Unclear but I suspect it is proportional to the number of STEM grads who took a lot of humanities courses.

Unfortunately, researchers forming bad questions/scenarios re ethics/morality is the rule rather than the exception.
IME, researchers who have little to no background in philosophy tend to import a lot of unnoticed philosophical baggage into their work. Usually it goes unnoticed by peers who likewise lack the exposure.
