Scientists became more afraid of AI hallucinations

The more scientists work with artificial intelligence, the less they trust it. Academic publisher Wiley released a preliminary report for 2025 on technology’s impact on science, and the conclusions there are paradoxical. Researchers began treating neural networks with greater skepticism than a year ago, when the technology was obviously less developed.

Let’s look at the numbers. In the 2024 survey, 51% of surveyed scientists worried about hallucinations. This is when large language models pass off fabricated information as truth. And what happened after a year when neural networks became more powerful? This number grew to 64%! While AI usage among researchers grew from 45% to 62%.

And then it gets even more interesting. In 2024, over 50% of scientists believed that AI already surpasses human capabilities. And in 2025 this belief collapsed to 30%. There’s the reality after the hype.

And this data agrees with previous studies that say: the more people learn about how AI works, the less they trust it. And familiarity breeds distrust.

I love artificial intelligence. But since I work with it for a long time – I know its limitations. And don’t idealize it. This is – just a fantastic tool. But it requires skilled hands.

For 5 years I have been working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. And this field never ceases to amaze, inspire and interest me.

New model from DeepSeek recognizes documents cheaply and efficiently

DeepSeek rolled out a new model for document recognition. And you know what? It doesn't just read text from pages - it understands structure. And does this cheaply and efficiently, which is rare in the AI world.

OpenAI officially denied GPT-6 release by end of year

At OpenAI they decided to cool public expectations and confessed: GPT-6 won't happen this year. But don't rush to be upset - this doesn't mean the company is sitting idle.

Father of reinforcement learning predicted end of large language models era

Richard Sutton - this is one of the fathers of reinforcement learning and Turing Award laureate. So he stated that the era of large language models is coming to an end. Next, in his opinion, comes the era of experience. And here's why he thinks so.

Artificial intelligence detects ADHD without questionnaires and doctors

Imagine you could diagnose ADHD simply by how your brain processes flickering letters on a screen. No questionnaires, no months of waiting for an appointment with a specialist. AI looks at your visual rhythms and gives a verdict with 92% accuracy. Sounds like science fiction? But this is already reality.
