Anyone who’s been using LLMs for an appreciable amount of time must be familiar with hallucinations by now.

Reporting that the German company was encouraging employees to cultivate new functions for themselves, and that its headcount had actually grown by 3,500 since 2023, Klein’s remarks went against the grain of much catastrophising about AI.
