Iâm not defending that AIs are a good source of information, and I agree that hallucinations are dangerous (either that or misusing LLMs is dangerous). I also admit that for language learning, artifacts caused from tokenization could be very detrimental to the user.
The point I am making is that LLMs struggling with these kind of tokenization artifacts is poor evidence for assuming anything about their behaviour on other tasks.

Thatâs a fair point when these LLMs are restricted to areas where they function well. They have use cases that make sense when isolated from the ethics around training and compute. But the people who made them are applying them wildly outside these use cases.
These are pushed as a solution to every problem for the sake of profit with intentional ignorance of these issues. If a few errors impact someone itâs just a casualty in the goal of making it profitable. That canât be disentwined from them unless you limit your argument to open source local compute.

Well â and I donât meant this to be antagonistic â I agree with everything youâve said except for the last sentence where you say âand therefore youâre wrong.â Look, Iâm not saying LLMs function well, or that theyâre good for society, or anything like that. Iâm saying that tokenization errors are really their own thing that are unrelated to other errors LLMs make. If you want to dunk on LLMs then yeah be my guest. Iâm just saying that this one type of poor behaviour is unrelated to the other kinds of poor behaviour.
