Are there any benefits from generative AI hallucinations?
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) hallucinations, where an AI delivers incorrect or fabricated information, can offer benefits, especially in creative and exploratory domains like drug discovery. There are four common types of AI hallucinations (Figure 1). Not all types are equally desirable or useful. General contradictions include context conflicts and sentence contradictions. For example, an AI […]
