This blog post has the goal to help us structure the Socratic dialogues at the AI Dinner 13.0, that Ivo and I are organizing in SF at the Frontier Tower.

We'll use blog post 1 and part 2 to go through Since part 2 was written during the last AI dinner 13.2 and a lot of new updates happened since, we'll cover them here.
Why Language Model Hallucinate and Cannot Say “I don’t Know”!
Language models hallucinate because their training and evaluation reward guessing over admitting uncertainty. Models are unable to say “I don’t Know” because they focus on accuracy. Guessing can improve scores but leads to more confident errors (hallucinations).
Some facts are unpredictable or unavailable, making errors inevitable. The solution might be roughly penalizing errors more than uncertainty and rewarding honest abstention.
