This post is roughly on the edge of my current bar for “AI content from new users.” I think the question this post is asking seems sort of confused to me – AFAICT AI models hallucinate because they don’t know the answer to all things, their pretraining isn’t designed to cause them to either know the answer to things nor to say those answers, and they are trained to say things whether they know the answer or not. Obviously, they’re going to end up hallucinating, it takes special effort for anything else to happen.
LW mods are currently experimenting with adjusting moderation policy, which includes being a lot more strict about new AI content because we’ve got a lot of low-quality such content these days. (Ideally, this comes with a link to “how to actually contribute well to the AI discussion” – the goal is to be encouraging while maintaining a standard).
This post seemed a combination of high effort, and doing some things right-enough that I didn’t feel comfortable rejecting it, but I think other mods might have leaned towards doing so. I settled for writing this comment so people can get a feel for how we’re approaching stuff.

This was copy/pasting an article on the subject that espouses my public opinions on the topic and holds true to them. It wasn’t very much effort.
Oh, so you’re not the author?
