Hallucinations -- the lies generative AI models tell, basically -- are a big problem for businesses looking to integrate the technology into their operations. In a recent piece in The Wall Street Journal, a source recounts an instance where Microsoft's generative AI invented meeting attendees and implied that conference calls were about subjects that weren't actually discussed on the call. As I wrote a while ago, hallucinations may be an unsolvable problem with today's transformer-based model architectures.

Sure, it's a little weird that Spotify is going to start putting information that is freely available online behind a paid wall, but the company is in a slightly difficult position today.
