We constantly hear the stories about companies that (sometimes literally) paid the price when they delivered AI-generated work replete with hallucinations.
Unlike these companies, most of my internal AI-generated work does NOT suffer from hallucinations.
Why not?
Because I only feed bits to the generative AI tool.
- I don’t ask Google Gemini to write a complete business plan.
- With the exception of my Bredebot experiment, I don’t ask Google Gemini to write a complete piece of customer-facing content.
- And I don’t ask Google Gemini to create a complete resume for…wait, strike that. Once I did, unintentionally, and it turned into a disaster.
My AI-generated resume
I was applying to a job at Company X, but I had to apply for the job at a website other than that of Company X. I thought it a little odd, but I continued with no worries.
Until I got to the part where the website told me, “Now’s the time that we create a resume for you.”
Rut roh.
The resume it created was filled with hallucinations that I had to edit out, making the whole process more trouble than it was worth.
So I’ll keep control of my projects myself and just give the tool little bits, thank you very much.
