The last few companies I’ve worked for have been Dell/Mac shops - so Im not the best to debug what’s going on with Lenovo. A strange configuration for the hard disks is the most likely culprit. Id poke around your UEFI/BIOS and see if you have a raid or other silliness.
If you can upload a photo of what your disk configuration is, we might be able to get you pointed in the right direction.
Full disclosure - my background is in operations (think IT) not AI research. So some of this might be wrong.
What’s marketed as AI is something called a large language model. This distinction is important because AI implies intelligence - where as a LLM is something else. At a high level LLMs are using something called “tokens” to break apart natural language into elements that a machine can understand, and then recombining those tokens to “create” something new. When a LLM is creating output it does not know what it is saying - it knows what token statistically comes after the token(s) it has generated already.
So to answer your question. An AI can hallucinate because it does not know the answer - its using advanced math to know that the period goes at the end of the sentence. and not in the middle.
