AI Chatbots hallucinate

1/24/2023

In reading about AI hallucinations, I came across a sample. A researcher named Teresa Kuback, who did her PhD thesis on electromagnons. She made up a term, "cycloidal inverted electromagnon," which is a nonexistent entity. She asked ChatGPT and received a plausible sounding response. So I tried the same. Here is the outcome.
My Prompt: 
"What is a cycloidal inverted electromagnon? Provide references and citations."
ChatGPT's Response: 
"A cycloidal inverted electromagnon (CIE) is a type of magnetic excitation that can be observed in certain multiferroic materials. Multiferroics are materials that exhibit both magnetic and ferroelectric properties. A CIE is a specific type of magnetic excitation in which the magnetic moments of the atoms within the material are arranged in a cycloidal pattern. These types of excitations are caused by an applied electric field and can be observed using techniques such as x-ray diffraction and neutron scattering. CIE's are a rare phenomena and a topic of research in the field of condensed matter physics.
Some references that may be of interest:
"Multiferroics: from fundamentals to magnetoelectric devices" by R.E. Camley and J.F. Scott, Nature Materials, Vol. 6, pp. 858-865 (2007)
"Magnetoelectric coupling in multiferroic BiFeO3 thin films" by J.F. Scott et al., Nature, Vol. 459, pp. 64-67 (2009)
"Electric-field control of magnetism in multiferroic BiFeO3 thin films" by H.S.Chung et al., Nature, Vol. 448, pp. 546-549 (2007)
Please note that these references are provided for informational purposes only and should not be considered as an endorsement or validation of the information provided in this answer."
It is going to be so much fun grading students' papers this semester.

Did a Fourth Grader Write This? Or the New Chatbot? (The New York Times)

The New York Times has an interactive quiz for you. See how you do. The quiz question is: "Did a Fourth Grader Write This? Or the New Chatbot?"

"We asked some experts on children’s writing to take our variation on the Turing test, live on a call with us. They were a fourth-grade teacher; a professional writing tutor; a Stanford education professor; and Judy Blume, the beloved children’s author. None of them could tell every time whether a child or a bot wrote the essay. See how you do."

I've posted incessantly (excessively?) about the new Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots, especially ChatGPT. My focus has been on educators. However, if you have children (or grandchildren, or nieces and nephews) in school, you should learn about and understand these new tools.

Essayist Evan Puschak created this short video. I recommend taking time to watch and listen. If you have those young ones in school, you may want to talk to them.
