Abstract

While AI “hallucinations” have been widely publicized by the media as shortcomings of Large Language Models (LLMs), there is much less awareness about shortcomings that derive from the potential lack of understanding of the world, from a potential lack of commonsense knowledge. We want to raise awareness among our student body about the potential fallibility of LLMs when they the problems that they need to solve require a basic understanding of the world. We hope that this awareness will prompt everyone to question more carefully the outputs generated by LLMs.
