ChatGPT Warns: “You should not treat me like an inherently reliable authority”

By Diedra Eby By now, everyone using ChatGPT and other Large Language Model (LLM) artificial intelligences (AI) should be well aware that they can hallucinate. Essentially, a hallucination is a lie without the negative intent that humans generally have behind a lie. According to a conversation with ChatGPT on Jan. 31, 2026, an “AI hallucination = fluent nonsense delivered with confidence." A screenshot from the author's conversation with ChatGPT on Jan. 31, 2026. Why does it happen? Because LLMs (what we most commonly call AIs) - at least popular ones like ChatGPT, Gemini, Grammarly, Deepai (ChatGPT Alternative), Perplexity, Claude and Microsoft’s CoPilot (there are many more) - are programmed to predict the next word in a sentence. In its simp...

Guinea Pig Heist Leads to Allegations of Abuse, Corporate Infighting

By Rory Archer An image of many of the guinea pigs at Lidtke Small Animal Foundation, taken from @lsafguineapigs on Instagram. TUCSON, ARIZ. — In the early morning of Sept. 23rd, two teenage girls were recorded smiling and covering a camera on the Lidtke Small Animal Foundation (LSAF) property in Marana. When employees came in for their shift later that morning, they found that 25 of their 26 guinea pigs were missing, and racial slurs were written on their whiteboards. By the following Saturday, 24 of the 25 guinea pigs were recovered safely, one of the guinea pigs having passed away in the meantime. One of the teen’s mothers, 47-year-old Heather Jenson, was identified as a third suspect in the theft and was known to the sanctuary. LSAF was in the process of rel...

The Birds Are Back in Town: Arizona Cardinals Look to Get Back to Winning Ways

By Nate Martinez It's time to bust out your favorite chips n dip and grab that 30 case of beer on sale because football is back. For many, this feeling is comparable to the feeling of taking your crush on a date for the first time or running downstairs to find Christmas presents; it's just pure innocent excitement! This feeling of excitement doubles if you are an Arizona Cardinals fan. The Bird Gang look to build off an offseason filled with hype and make a run deep into the playoffs. Given the offseason trades, a stellar draft-class, a killer receiving core and a quarterback that has limitless potential, things seem to be looking pretty good for the Cardinals. Before the Cardinals kick off their season against their longtime rivals, the San Francisco 49ers, let’s recap some of the bi...

Biden’s Allegations Spark Controversy

Tara Reade (1993) Photo courtesy of wikimedia. By Dalton Grijalva Our presidential candidates have been subject to controversy. Being President in general comes with controversy, just think Benghazi, Iran Contra affair or anything our current president says. The #MeToo was a movement that came to light in 2017 to hold those accountable for the attrositities of sexual harassment and sexual assault against individuals who have felt that they have been silencenced. The problem we face now is that the left seems to be so overly obsessed with beating Trump they’ll go against their own morals to elect Joe Biden. Whether it be his questionable cognitive skills or his presidential policies. The one that caused #DropoutBiden to trend on Twitter is the subject of his #MeToo controversy. ...

Tucson Businesses with specials and big hearts

Eegees is the perfect cool down for this coming summer (pink passion is the flavor of the month). With our current situation, everything is truly different. Local businesses are especially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, what's truly amazing is when communities come together, and everyone helps each other out. The Aztec Press would like to highlight some businesses offering specials, so you can support your local business without breaking the bank. We are also highlighting those that are giving back to our community. Mama's Famous Pizza and Heroes is a perfect New York style pizza restaurant. While I highly recommend their family size pizza, their current deal is a family meal deal with a large Neapolitan one-topping pizza, four garlic sticks and two cannoli for $30. ...

Stimulus checks will not be coming for many college students

By ANA FIERROS COVID-19, college administrations and our government have economically duped college students. After the extreme rise in COVID-19 cases in the United States, universities and colleges across the nation have closed their doors for the remainder of the semester. Students who paid for an entire semester and even went into debt trying to cover the costs of attendance will likely not get a refund for what they paid. Students have lost work study jobs that they use to help pay for things outside of school. I had to be let go from my work study job because they couldn’t manage to keep me on board with the changing school schedule, though I was lucky enough to be onboarded as a regular employee. This is not the case for most college students. Ohio University is struggling to fin...

Once inside, calamity strikes! Larry falls through a sinkhole beneath his pa’s office, and Lucy’s confronted by pa’s former employee, Billy Rascal.
