Introduction: The tide of intelligence surges, and the knowledge landscape changes and reshapes

Artificial intelligence, especially the rapid development of generative AI and large language models (LLMs), is a key driving force for current social change, especially in the fields of academic research and knowledge production. The role of AI is dual: it is a powerful enabling tool, but it also brings complex problems that need to be solved. Understanding this duality is the basis for grasping the future direction of AI and formulating effective response strategies.

1.1 Knowledge ecology under the influence of AI: opportunities and challenges coexist

AI technology is accelerating the discovery and creation of knowledge in an unprecedented way, greatly improving the efficiency of information acquisition and processing, and supporting cross-media knowledge conversion. For example, AI can efficiently complete tasks such as literature review, data analysis, and code generation, significantly improving the efficiency of scientific research and knowledge work.

However, the widespread application of AI is also accompanied by the defects of the technology itself and its far-reaching social impact, forming an era portrait G, H with both opportunities and challenges. The main challenges include:

• AI hallucination: generating content that seems reasonable but is inconsistent with the facts, caused by factors such as training data bias and model uncertaintyG, H.

  Illustration: Schematic diagram of the AI ​​"hallucination" phenomenon, which is manifested by the model including fictitious facts in its seemingly smooth output.

• Algorithmic bias: Bias in training data may be amplified and spread, affecting objectivity and fairness.
• The decision-making process is not transparent: the “black box” problem reduces user trustᴹ.
• Data privacy and securityᴹ.
• Ethical dilemmas: including intellectual property disputes, digital divide, market monopoly, high energy consumption, etc.ᴹ, E, F.

The challenges of AI "illusion" and content quality essentially touch upon fundamental issues of epistemology, forcing us to re-examine the verification standards and meaning of "authenticity" of knowledge in an era where AI is deeply involved in knowledge production.

2.2 The fog of “illusion”: the nature, manifestation and deep impact of AI’s fictitious information

AI "hallucination" is the problem that the model generates seemingly reasonable but inaccurate or even fictitious content, which is one of the core challenges of AI in the field of knowledge generation.

• Essence and causes: The model performs statistical pattern matching based on training data, which may generate false information when the data range is exceeded or the data is biasedG, H. The model lacks fact-checking capabilities or the ability to obtain information from external information sourcesG, H.
