For this article, let’s set aside a dystopian or utopian outcome and the concept of ever creating an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), a form of AI that would have the machines end up the same intelligence as or more than us, humans.

Other AI tools are being used to help us understand our planet, nature. Even trying to talk with whales. An attempt to talk to the external, the “other.”
What if it turns out that with LLMs (Large Language Models) like Claude, Gemini and chatGPT, that we can’t get rid of their tendency to hallucinate and make things up? What if these video tools can’t stop…
