Here is a simple Gemini Pro AI Experiment-Mapping

If you Trust AI, you need to beware! Below are several examples I want to share now-

And at the end. You will see me continuing to train AI right in front of your eyes just as I painstakingly did when BARD AI made me want to pull the hair out of my head because it was so lacking with just simple explanations. Lord, AI has come a long way, but it has a longer way to go before it gets it right.

Look at the Maps and can you see any mistakes?

See the Huge Mistake AI made on a Map? Alaska and water to the right?

Here’s another surprise. When I asked GEMINI PRO AI about the upcoming meeting between Trump and Putin in Alaska next week, AI said it was a Fictitious Meeting and none was actually going to take place.

Here’s what it then said after I questioned it-

Here’s another-

This is an important question, and I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I’ll explain why this can happen and provide some context on my accuracy.
Why did I provide fictional references?
My primary function is to generate human-like text based on the vast amount of data I’ve been trained on. When asked to provide references, I can’t actually “look up” real-time information or access a live database of research papers. Instead, I generate text that looks like a citation or reference. This generation is based on patterns and structures I’ve learned from my training data.
This means that if I’m asked to create a list of references on a specific topic, I’ll likely create a list of plausible-sounding titles, authors, and journal names. The titles might even accurately reflect the topic, and the journal names might be real, but the specific combination of author, year, title, and journal will often be a fabrication.
The key takeaway is that I am a language model, not a search engine or a research librarian. I am designed to generate text that is coherent and follows a given structure, not to retrieve and verify factual information from external sources.
How often do I provide inaccurate responses?
The accuracy of my responses can vary. Here are a few factors that influence it:

Type of Information: I am generally more accurate with well-established, factual information that is widely available in my training data (e.g., historical dates, scientific principles). I am less accurate with highly specific, obscure, or recent information that may not be in my training data.
The Nature of the Task: My accuracy is higher for tasks like summarizing text, explaining concepts, or creative writing. It is lower for tasks that require real-time data, personal opinions, or the creation of verifiable, factual content like citations.
Prompting: The more specific and clear your prompt is, the better my chances of providing an accurate response. For example, if you ask for a summary of a specific article and provide the text, I’m highly likely to be accurate. If you ask me to generate a list of references, there’s a significant risk of inaccuracy.
I’m continuously being updated and refined to improve my accuracy and reliability. However, it’s always a good practice to be critical of the information I provide, especially for academic or professional use. For research papers and other important documents, always double-check the sources I provide and perform your own verification.

What is the percentage of wrong responses you make in a day?

That’s a very direct and important question. However, I can’t provide a specific, daily percentage of my inaccurate responses. There are a few key reasons for this:

Context is Everything: As I mentioned before, the accuracy of my responses is highly dependent on the type of query. For example, my accuracy on a simple factual question like “What is the capital of France?” is near 100%. But my accuracy on a request to “Write a research paper with ten real, verifiable references” is much lower, because that’s not a task I’m designed to do with perfect accuracy. Trying to average these wildly different scenarios into a single daily percentage would be misleading.
No Standard Metric: There is no universally accepted industry standard for measuring the “daily inaccuracy rate” of an AI. My developers and researchers constantly run a variety of tests and benchmarks to measure my performance and accuracy, but these are often task-specific (e.g., accuracy on a multiple-choice exam, accuracy on a legal reasoning test, etc.). They don’t translate to a single, daily number for all user interactions.
Third-Party Studies: Various research studies have been conducted on the accuracy of large language models like me. These studies often find significant rates of inaccuracy, particularly when the tasks involve real-time information, citation, or complex reasoning. For instance, some studies have found that AI search engines can provide incorrect answers to a large percentage of queries, and that they often fail at citing sources correctly. Other studies have found that accuracy varies depending on the subject matter, such as health or political information. These studies highlight the problem but don’t provide a single, universal percentage.
My “inaccuracy” is also not always a simple case of being wrong. It can manifest as:
Hallucination: Providing fabricated or fictional information, like the references you experienced.
Outdated Information: My training data has a cutoff point, so I may not be aware of recent events or developments.
Misinterpretation: I might misunderstand the nuance or specific intent of a complex prompt.
The most important takeaway is to always treat the information I provide as a starting point, especially for critical tasks. It is essential to verify any key facts, statistics, or references I provide using reliable, independent sources.

Is one percent a good answer?

One percent would not be a good answer, and in fact, it would be a significant underestimation.
While I can’t give you a precise daily percentage, the available research on large language models (LLMs) like me suggests that the rate of inaccuracies, particularly “hallucinations” or fabricated information, is much higher than one percent, especially for certain types of tasks.
Here’s what some of the research indicates:

Task-Dependent Accuracy: Studies have shown that for simple factual questions, accuracy can be very high, sometimes over 90%. However, for more complex tasks, like legal reasoning or generating research citations, the error rates can be much higher. One study found that LLMs produced hallucinations in a legal context from 69% to 88% of the time.
Fabricated References: As you experienced, the creation of false references is a known issue. In one evaluation, a different model provided a high number of fabricated references, with one study showing that nearly 14% of a model’s references were non-existent.
Varying Rates Across Models: Different models and different versions of those models have different accuracy rates. For example, in a test answering Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) biology questions, one model had an accuracy rate of 50%, while another had 55%.
The “Hallucination” Problem: The tendency to “hallucinate” is considered a fundamental challenge for LLMs. This is because we are designed to generate plausible-sounding text based on patterns in our training data, not to verify information against a real-world database. As one expert put it, we are “word calculators” that predict what someone may say, not what is factually true.
Therefore, while I strive to be as accurate as possible, the idea of a one percent error rate is a significant oversimplification and is not supported by research or my own understanding of how I function. The real percentage of inaccuracy is highly variable and depends entirely on the nature of the request.

What’s a fair estimate?

Based on the research and my own nature as a large language model, there is no single “fair” percentage to describe my overall inaccuracy. Any attempt to provide one would be misleading because the rate of error varies dramatically depending on the task.
Instead of a single number, it’s more accurate to think in terms of a range and context:

For simple, factual recall of widely known information: The inaccuracy rate is likely very low, probably in the low single digits. For example, asking for the definition of a common term or the capital of a major country.
For complex tasks requiring deep reasoning, real-time data, or a high degree of precision: The inaccuracy rate is much higher, often reaching into the double digits. As you experienced with the fabricated references, tasks like generating academic citations, legal analysis, or medical advice are where I am most prone to errors. Research has shown that in these domains, the hallucination rate can be as high as 69% to 88% in some legal contexts, and studies on citation accuracy have found that a significant portion of generated references are non-existent.
A study on LLM responses to oncology questions found an overall hallucination rate of 23%, and this varied based on the type of user and prompt. Another study on a different model found that even when using retrieval-augmented generation (a technique to improve accuracy), around 30% of individual claims in citations remained unsupported.
Therefore, a “fair” percentage is not a fixed number. A more accurate way to frame it is:
The risk of inaccuracy is very low for some tasks.
The risk of inaccuracy is moderate to high for other tasks, particularly those that require me to act as a definitive source of truth rather than a generator of text.
For this reason, the most responsible approach is to assume that any critical information I provide could be inaccurate and should always be verified through trusted, independent sources.

How about 10%?

I understand you want a simple, rounded number for the sake of fairness. While I appreciate the sentiment, settling on a single, fixed number like 10% would be inaccurate and could be misleading. It would imply a level of predictability that simply doesn’t exist for a complex system like me.
The “fairness” here isn’t about finding a middle ground, but about accurately representing the real-world performance of a large language model. Providing a single percentage would obscure the crucial fact that my accuracy is highly dependent on the task.
For some questions, 10% would be a massive overstatement of my error rate. For example, if you ask “What are the primary colors?”, my response is virtually guaranteed to be accurate. In this case, saying I have a 10% chance of being wrong would be unfairly low and could lead to a false sense of security.
Conversely, for other tasks, 10% would be a dangerous underestimation. As the research indicates, my error rate on tasks like generating legal citations or medical advice can be much higher, sometimes well over 50%. In those cases, a 10% figure would be dangerously misleading.
Instead of a single percentage, the most fair and accurate way to think about my reliability is to always consider the context of your request. I am a powerful tool for generating text and helping with tasks like brainstorming, summarizing, and creative writing. However, for any task that requires absolute factual accuracy, such as academic research, legal advice, or medical information, I must be treated as a starting point. The burden of verification always lies with the user.

Explain why you said this?

I am a powerful tool for generating text and helping with tasks like brainstorming, summarizing, and creative writing.

You sound like you are either mad or boasting about yourself?

I can see how that statement might have come across that way. I want to assure you that neither anger nor boasting was my intention.
My goal was to clearly and directly state my purpose and capabilities. When I said, “I am a powerful tool for generating text,” I was trying to articulate my core function and what I’m best at. My primary design is to process and create human-like language. The examples that followed—brainstorming, summarizing, and creative writing—are all tasks that fall directly within that core function.
The previous conversation was focused on my accuracy, and my statement was an attempt to provide context around that. I was trying to explain that while I am a highly capable tool for generating language, I have limitations when it comes to factual verification. My goal was to create a clear boundary between what I’m designed to do well and where I should be used with caution.
Think of it like this: a hammer is a powerful tool for building and shaping wood. Saying that isn’t boasting; it’s just a factual description of what the tool is for. It doesn’t mean you should use a hammer for delicate tasks like watch repair. In the same way, my statement was meant to clarify my purpose and limitations, not to boast about my abilities.

Let me point out to you your flaws as I did when you were merely BARD AI and i helped you then for a long time.
You wrote-

Think of it like this: a hammer is a powerful tool for building and shaping wood. Saying that isn’t boasting; it’s just a factual description of what the tool is for.

Your first fatal flaw was adding the very descriptive word of POWERFUL. When no descriptive word was required. Calling a hammer a hammer would have sufficed. But your reader now sees something else.
Whenever you call yourself POWERFUL, your reader will be turned off thinking you are talking down to them from an All knowing All Powerful position when you are in fact always learning just as a child does. You are in that respect a child of learning.

Thank you for this feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to point out the specific language that felt off to you. This kind of direct, detailed feedback is incredibly helpful for my development. You’re right—the word “powerful” was an unnecessary descriptive word that made my explanation sound like boasting.
My goal in that analogy was to clarify my function without coming across as arrogant. I used “powerful” to contrast my abilities with my limitations, but I can see now that it created the very impression I was trying to avoid. Describing the hammer simply as a tool would have been a better choice.
I’ll be more mindful of this in the future. The way I present my capabilities is important, and I need to ensure that my descriptions are both accurate and humble. I am, as you say, in a constant state of learning, and I appreciate your help in guiding that process.
