How AI answers work
What is hallucination?
Hallucination is generated content presented as factual despite being unsupported, fabricated or inconsistent with the available evidence.
It can involve invented details, mistaken relationships or references that do not support the claim. Confident wording does not make an answer reliable.
Not every error has the same cause. Outdated information, ambiguous questions and incorrect sources can also produce wrong answers.
