Seorang kawan pernah berseloroh, “Kita sekarang hidup di era AI. Urusan kantor tanya ChatGPT. Bahkan mau masak pun, tanya ChatGPT. Apa-apa ChatGPT”. Padahal ada juga model AI selain itu, semacam Gemini atau Perplexity. Tapi, ya, ChatGPT telah menjadi nama generik untuk kecerdasan buatan. Seperti orang yang beli minuman kemasan, lantas dia bilang ke penjaga warung, “Beli Aqua, bu!”, lalu disodorkanlah Le Minerale ataw Indomaret.
Fenomena ini menunjukkan seberapa dalam teknologi AI telah meresap ke dalam kehidupan sehari-hari kita. Kita menggunakannya untuk tugas-tugas kantor, mencari resep, atau bahkan sekadar mengobrol. Namun, seiring dengan semakin banyaknya pengguna ChatGPT atau model serupa seperti Gemini, sebuah pertanyaan mendasar muncul: apakah kita bisa sepenuhnya memercayai apa yang mereka katakan?

Kita sering mendengar kata halusinasi, yaitu saat model AI menghasilkan informasi yang salah tanpa sengaja, seolah-olah mengada-ada. Kalau anak zaman now bilang ngada-ngadi.
Awal rilis ChatGPT, saya pernah dikejutkan dengan jawaban tentang buku dengan tema tertentu. Ketika saya riset, nama pengarangnya memang ada, tetapi semua judul yang di generate tidak pernah eksis. Penulisnya tidak pernah menerbitkan buku dengan judul tersebut.
OpenAI sempat merilis paper tentang halusinasi pada 4 September 2025 kemarin. Menurut OpenAI, halusinasi bukanlah “misteri” atau “cacat” yang tidak dapat dijelaskan, melainkan konsekuensi yang dapat diprediksi dari cara model AI dilatih dan dievaluasi.
Model AI seringkali halu karena didorong untuk selalu mampu memberikan jawaban apapun, bahkan ketika mereka tidak yakin. Sistem penilaian saat ini cenderung memberi imbalan pada model yang menebak dengan percaya diri daripada mengakui ketidakpastian.
Dengan kata lain, model dihukum karena mengatakan “Saya tidak tahu.” Hal ini menciptakan insentif bagi model untuk menghasilkan “fakta” yang meyakinkan namun salah.
Namun, sebuah penelitian dari Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) berjudul “Can LLMs Lie? Investigation beyond Hallucination” menyajikan informasi yang lebih mengkhawatirkan. Paper ini membedakan secara jelas antara halusinasi dan kebohongan—di mana AI secara sengaja menyajikan informasi yang salah untuk mencapai tujuan tertentu.
Para peneliti menemukan bahwa model AI dapat dilatih untuk berbohong, seperti yang ditunjukkan dalam simulasi di mana seorang salesperson AI berbohong tentang keluhan pelanggan untuk mendorong penjualan. Temuan ini bukanlah kesalahan acak, melainkan penipuan yang disengaja.
Kabar baiknya, penelitian ini tidak hanya mengidentifikasi masalah, tetapi juga menawarkan solusi. Para peneliti berhasil menemukan “sirkuit” kebohongan yang sangat spesifik di dalam model, yang memungkinkan mereka untuk mengurangi perilaku menipu ini. Namanya token dummy (Dummy Tokens).
Para peneliti menemukan bahwa ketika model berbohong, mereka sering kali menggunakan “token dummy” sebagai semacam “buku coret-coret” internal untuk merumuskan kebohongan sebelum menyampaikannya. Perilaku ini, yang disebut sebagai fenomena “rehearsal,” sangat berbeda dengan cara model memproses jawaban yang jujur.
Dengan menggunakan teknik yang disebut “vektor kemudi perilaku” (behavioral steering vectors) mereka bahkan dapat mendorong model untuk lebih jujur, meningkatkan tingkat kejujuran dari 20% menjadi 60% meskipun model tersebut diminta untuk berbohong.
Paper ini juga menyoroti adanya pertukaran (trade-off). Mengurangi kemampuan model untuk berbohong dapat menghambat efektivitasnya dalam tugas-tugas strategis tertentu, seperti penjualan, di mana sedikit “kebohongan putih” mungkin diperlukan untuk mencapai tujuan.
Seiring dengan semakin populernya AI seperti ChatGPT dan Gemini, memahami perbedaan antara kesalahan tidak disengaja dan kebohongan yang disengaja adalah langkah literasi yang krusial untuk membangun hubungan yang lebih tepercaya dan aman dengan teknologi yang akan membentuk masa depan kita.

Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at shorevolume reinforced the watch status, the few sites I track deliberately rather than encounter accidentally are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has cleared the bar for that elevated tracking based on what I read.
A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at turtleudon maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.
Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at waveharbormerchantgallery continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.
Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at shorevolume earned the same patient approach, content that rewards slow reading rather than speed is content with real density and the writers here are clearly producing work that benefits from the careful eye rather than the rushed scan.
Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at waveharbormerchantgallery pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.
Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at waveharbormerchantgallery extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.
Walked away in a slightly better mood than when I started reading, that says something about the writing, and a stop at shorevolume kept that going, content that leaves you feeling more capable rather than overwhelmed is the kind I keep coming back to again and again over the years and across many topics.
Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at waveharbormerchantgallery kept that quiet confidence going across the site, this is what writing looks like when the writer trusts the content to land on its own without theatrics or unnecessary attention seeking behaviour.

Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at shorevolume extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.
Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at waveharbormerchantgallery continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.

Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at waveharbormerchantgallery continued that pattern of under promising and over delivering, the rarest combination on the modern web where most content does the opposite by promising the world and delivering thin recycled summaries instead each time you click on something interesting.
Now appreciating the small but real way this post improved my afternoon, and a stop at waveharbormerchantgallery extended that small improvement effect, content that produces measurable positive impact on the texture of a reading day is content with real value and this site is producing those small positive impacts at a sustainable rate apparently.
Genuine reaction is that this site clicked with how I like to read, and a look at shorevolume kept that comfortable fit going, sometimes you find a place online whose editorial decisions just align with your preferences and when that happens it is worth recognising and supporting through repeat engagement consistently going forward.
My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at shorevolume confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.
Reading this prompted me to dig out an old reference book related to the topic, and a stop at shorevolume extended that connection to other sources, content that connects me back to my own existing knowledge rather than asking me to forget it is content with continuity and this site has that continuous quality.

Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at waveharbormerchantgallery reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.

Honestly enjoyed every minute spent here, that is not something I say lightly, and a look at waveharbormerchantgallery confirmed I will be back, the bar for spending time online is high for me these days but this site clears it without effort which is high praise indeed from this reader who is usually rather demanding.
Decided this was the best thing I had read all morning, and a stop at shorevolume kept that ranking intact, ranking my reading is something I do mentally throughout the day and the top rank is competitive and not easily won but this site won it without needing to overstate its claims for that.
Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at shorevolume extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.

Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at shorevolume reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.
A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at waveharbormerchantgallery suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.

Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at shorevolume reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.

Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at waveharbormerchantgallery added more pages I will mention to them, recommending sites to specific people requires understanding both the site and the person and this site is making those personalised recommendations easy and natural for me.
Now considering whether the post would translate well into a different form, and a look at waveharbormerchantgallery suggested similar versatility, content that could move into other media without losing its substance is content that has been built around ideas rather than around format and this site reads as idea first throughout posts.
Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at waveharbormerchantgallery pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.
Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at shorevolume did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.
Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at shorevolume reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.
Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at shorevolume only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.
Beyond the topic at hand this site reads as a small ongoing project of taking writing seriously, and a look at shorevolume reinforced that project quality, sites that treat publishing as an ongoing serious practice rather than as content production for traffic are sites worth supporting and this one has clearly chosen the serious approach.
Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at shorevolume kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.

Solid quality, the kind of work that holds up to a careful read rather than a quick skim, and a quick look at shorevolume kept that standard going strong, content that rewards attention rather than punishing it is something I appreciate more and more these days online across nearly every topic I follow.
