Hello there, I'm heading a project that means to make a 2.5D Pokemon fan game engine project using Godot. If you want to be on the dev team, or just want to follow its progress, feel free to join the Discord. -

>Twix ads pretend that left Twix and right Twix taste different.
>Personally, if I were in charge, I would make a small percentage taste different, totally at random, but at a just high enough rate that people question it. For fun.
>Hold up, this would be absolutely awesome though. They'd keep the debate up forever.
>It's genius, but also probably illegal because you're offering two products without saying that you are LOL.
🚨BREAKING: OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up.
Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math.
Even with perfect training data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false. This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level.
And their own numbers are brutal. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model hallucinates 16% of the time. Their newer o3 model? 33%. Their newest o4-mini? 48%. Nearly half of what their most recent model tells you could be fabricated. The "smarter" models are actually getting worse at telling the truth.
Here's why it can't be fixed. Language models work by predicting the next word based on probability. When they hit something uncertain, they don't pause. They don't flag it. They guess. And they guess with complete confidence, because that's exactly what they were trained to do.
The researchers looked at the 10 biggest AI benchmarks used to measure how good these models are. 9 out of 10 give the same score for saying "I don't know" as for giving a completely wrong answer: zero points. The entire testing system literally punishes honesty and rewards guessing.
So the AI learned the optimal strategy: always guess. Never admit uncertainty. Sound confident even when you're making it up.
OpenAI's proposed fix? Have ChatGPT say "I don't know" when it's unsure. Their own math shows this would mean roughly 30% of your questions get no answer. Imagine asking ChatGPT something three times out of ten and getting "I'm not confident enough to respond." Users would leave overnight. So the fix exists, but it would kill the product.
This isn't just OpenAI's problem. DeepMind and Tsinghua University independently reached the same conclusion. Three of the world's top AI labs, working separately, all agree: this is permanent.
Every time ChatGPT gives you an answer, ask yourself: is this real, or is it just a confident guess?
In Mario Kart Wii, the dancing Piantas near the escalators in Coconut Mall actually serve a purpose. They will turn towards the escalator currently moving upward, and face forward while the escalators change directions, providing an additional visual indicator from afar.
In Super Mario Galaxy, Mario actually loses his arms when becoming Spring Mario, which is hidden by the spring enveloping his body. By unloading the spring model, we can see what is really happening to Mario.
Wario's been around since 1992 and has managed to appear in at least one more title in every single year since.
That is a legit big accomplishment that not all the regulars can claim to have.
