Entering the garage, it was set up like a workshop, with various tools hanging on the walls—screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, and even six electric screwdrivers lined up neatly, all polished and gleaming under the lights.
Against the wall was a long countertop, equally tidy, with a coffee machine in the middle, making it convenient to grab a cup from any position. An office chair, with its upholstery already worn, was placed at the edge of the table, indicating the owner spent a lot of time here.
In the middle of the garage sat a metallic, angular utility vehicle—the latest Tesla Cybertruck replica with a hydrogen fuel cell.
"Uncle Bob says this vehicle can get you through anything, even the end of the world," Catherine introduced Bob's car, making a forward charge gesture with her hand. Stan, though not knowledgeable about cars, appreciated the cyberpunk aesthetic.
"Ms. Mao, do you think this car will do?" Stan asked, knowing full well Ms. Mao needed to drive it.
"Call me 'Mom', young man!" Ms. Mao didn't look at Stan and walked straight to the driver's seat.
"...Mom." Stan corrected himself, feeling awkward. Ms. Mao got into the driver's seat, easily found the start button, closed the door, started the engine, and drove out of the garage. As soon as she exited, she performed a swift turn and brake, stopping the car in front of the garage door. The car's excellent performance showcased Bob's meticulous maintenance.
Lowering the window, Ms. Mao said to Stan, "No problem, this car is easier to drive than it looks."
Stan responded, "Alright... Mom! Then we'll choose this car. Once Mr. Bob sends over the agreement, we can sign it and head out!" He then turned to get Ms. Mao's suitcase, taking the opportunity to discuss AI hallucination issues with Catherine.
Handing her the laptop, Stan said, "The AI hallucination problem appeared during practical testing phases, where AI would confidently give wrong answers to unknown questions. So, it's been a known issue for a while. If what I encountered today was indeed due to AI hallucination, then this would be the first time it caused actual harm."
Catherine replied, "I've tested some older models that could run on my laptop, and I didn't find any hallucination issues, even when completely offline. It seems the problem has been addressed before large-scale deployment." Just then, Catherine's laptop chimed, indicating Bob's agreement had arrived.
