Common Failures of Generative AI

If you have just built your generative AI (GenAI) application, then you may be so fascinated by what it can do that you lose sight of answer quality and accuracy. Discovering how often GenAI is incorrect is a challenge in itself.

Many tend to believe that when a computer gives an answer, it gives an accurate answer—usually, more accurate than a human being. For example, most people feel relieved that machines, and not just people, fly airplanes today. Airplanes may be much safer now compared to 15 years ago because of this advancement, but when it comes to GenAI, the results are not nearly as accurate as the onboard systems of a flight craft.

This chapter takes a detailed look at the top five challenges with ...
