Deep learning is brittle. As we saw in the opening chapter, deep learning can be perfect in one situation and utterly wrong in another. Hallucinations like the nonexistent refrigerator we saw earlier aren't some sort of one-off that we are picking on; they remain a persistent problem, years after the problem was first noticed. More recent models continue to be subject to the same thing, making such errors 7 to 17 percent of the time according to one study.
