|
| # Bias, Risks and Limitations |
|
|
| Like all large language models, Gemma-based systems may: |
| - hallucinate information |
| - generate inaccurate answers |
| - reflect biases present in training data |
| - misunderstand context |
| - produce incomplete or misleading outputs |
|
|
| Multimodal interpretation may also produce inaccurate analysis of visual or textual inputs. |
|
|
| Internet search functionality may retrieve inaccurate or outdated information from external sources. |
|
|
| Human supervision is recommended for important decisions. |
|
|
| Machines are still extremely confident pattern predictors pretending not to be probability engines. Sometimes they are correct. Sometimes they are very creative. |
