The case at the link below crossed my desk this morning.
https://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKFTT/TC/2023/TC09010.html
Long story, short - a taxpayer in appealing a penalty used some "helpful" previous cases generated by an AI system, Chat GPT.
Turns out that the cases quoted did not exist and the AI system may have suffered from "hallucination" which apparently is a process by which the AI predicts results rather than reports a result.
This was a relatively simple case with a couple of well travelled paths which have previously been decided by a Tribunal.
Accepting that the taxpayer here had (or claimed to have) some mental health issues which prevented her from dealing with her affairs and was therefore not perhaps experienced in the the law or practice, it's quite worrying that:
A. She thought that she could rely on an AI system rather than a real person
B. The AI system not only "got it wrong" but then invented supporting evidence
Humans have a well practiced ability to fool each other and don't need help from machines.
In this case, perhaps the "Artificial" overcame the "Intelligence"? |  | | |  |

There is no such thing as artificial intelligence, despite the branding and hype, and there probably won't be in our lifetime.
There is machine learning and large language models.
Machine learning relies on inputs, if those inputs are crap the output is crap.
Hallucinations are the result of crap training data and badly written algorithms, both of these things are going to be more and more common in the future as people try and save money by passing things off to machine learning. |  | | |
