Hallucinations in AI Models: What They Mean for Software Quality and Trust

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-11-16 15:00:57

Modern businesses are rushing to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, but this rapid integration comes with unexpected challenges. A phenomenon known as “hallucinations” occurs in large language models (LLMs) and deep learning systems and threatens software quality and trust. These hallucinations occur when AI presents false information as fact. The damage extends beyond technical failures, as user trust erodes, brand reputations suffer, and ethical questions multiply.

Switch 2 gamers who come home bone tired after a long day of drudgery will collapse on the couch and want to take their mind off life’s worst entanglements with a few hours of gaming. These working stiffs necessarily have to reach for the now more expensive first-party controller first if they don’t want to get up and hit the Switch 2 power button.

The Steam Deck has yet to find a real competitor in the PC handheld gaming device battle.

Elijah Wood will always be associated with the Lord of the Rings movies, but the actor has also built up a varied array of unusual characters across his career. Maybe his weirdest yet comes with The Toxic Avenger, the long-awaited remake of the cult classic that’s finally hitting theaters later this month. Wood has a memorable supporting role as Fritz, the brother and henchman of Kevin Bacon’s sleazy villain. He’s not as freaky-looking as the title mutant, played in human form by Peter Dinklage,

Dell 14 Premium Review: Hello Old Friend

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-11-16 22:00:00

Dell is facing an uphill battle. It’s relaunching an already divisive laptop design with no significant changes. The new Dell 14 Premium retains the limited ports, touch-button function keys, and the invisible trackpad of its predecessor, none of which were particularly popular. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have the XPS pedigree to lean on. The axing of the XPS name was one of the many casualties in the company’s new, “simplified” brand.

On a drab, overcast March day in Amsterdam in 2022, Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares took off his face mask and strode onto a makeshift stage to confidently explain to a crowd of journalists and analysts how the company that had recently unified brands as diverse as Fiat, Peugeot, Maserati, Ram, and Opel was going rewrite the rules of the car industry. His tie sat slightly askew and his greying hair needed a trim, the picture of a man far too focused on applying dynamic capitalistic principles to a
