   If highly trained folks in the military that are literally choosing targets to bomb are succumbing to hallucinated AI slop, then what hope do the rest of us (e.g. students doing homework, a corporate analyst, a local journalist) have... dark times ahead

      They are probably trained on AI as much as the rest of us... It takes a few burns to tune your hallucination detection senses. The problem is their mistakes can have a bigger consequence than sloppy code, looking stupid in a meeting, or bugs in software. I've noticed the hallucinations are becoming kind of subtle too... things like a code reviewer makes up a bunch of edge cases or problems that don't really exist.
