Hallucination

When an AI model produces confident but false or fabricated information.

What it means

A hallucination occurs when a language model generates information that is fluent and confident but factually incorrect or entirely fabricated. Hallucinations arise because LLMs predict plausible text rather than retrieve verified facts. Grounding responses in retrieved sources and providing clear, authoritative content helps reduce the chance that an engine invents details about your brand.
