Hallucination

When an AI confidently states something false or made up.

An LLM picks likely next words; it does not check facts. So it sometimes invents books, numbers or quotes — very convincingly.

To reduce it: give reliable sources with RAG, instruct it to say “I don’t know”, and have people check important answers.

Example

For legal or medical answers, always show sources and verify.
