So this is the terminator consciousness so many people are scared will kill us all..
Connecticut do have a D in it: mine.
So the Dakotas get a pass
And Idaho
"AI" hallucinations are not a problem that can be fixed in LLMs. They are an inherent aspect of the process and an inevitable result of the fact that LLMs are mostly probabilistic engines, with no supervisory or introspective capability, which actual sentient beings possess and use to fact-check their output. So there. :p
It's funny seeing the list and knowing connecticut is only there because it's alphabetically after colorado (in fact all four listed appear in that order alphabetically) because they probably scraped so many lists of states that the alphabetical order is the statistically most probable response in their corpus when any state name is listed.

I get the sentiment behind this post, and it's almost always funny when LLM are such dumbass. But this is not a good argument against the technology. It is akin to climate change denier using the argument: "look! It snowed today, climate change is so dumb huh ?"
It’s not worth the environmental impact

In Copilot terminology, this is a “quick response” instead of the “think deeper” option. The latter actually stops to verify the initial answer before spitting it out.
Deep thinking gave me this: Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Maryland, North Dakota, Rhode Island, and South Dakota.
It took way longer, but at least the list looks better now. Somehow it missed Nevada, so it clearly didn’t think deep enough.

Hey hey hey hey don't look at what it actually does.
Look at what it feels like it almost can do and pretend it soon will!
