Am I the only one who almost never experience any hallucinations when talking to ChatGPT? I have to really push it into a corner with trick questions and conflicting instructions about obscure topics in order to trigger hallucinations.
That it would just come up with random false facts about something as common and "basic" as the history of the Greek language sounds like a made-up issue.
- nebulous1 2y agoWell, I can't say that you're the only one, but I can say that I don't even interact with it that frequently and I've had numerous instances of it giving me false information. Enough times that I'm surprised to see you say otherwise.

- cheschire 2y agoI know it feels like 4o has been out forever but go back to the 3.5 model without internet access for a while, which is all that a lot of students can afford. It’s kind of terrible. But yeah ever since I could start adding “and include an explanation with citations” to my prompts I’ve not had an issue with hallucinations more than once or twice.
- hayley-patton 2y agoDoes it give real citations? I've heard it gives bogus citations, though can't remember how well it went last time.
- cheschire 2y agoI haven’t had any issues, but I’m not using it to do “real” research so the veracity of sources has been less of an issue for me. I typically ask, then spot check sources. If I’m using it to make purchase decisions or scheduling my day then I use it purely to find me source pages. It’s really terrible at calculating the cost of services.
- watwut 2y agoI don't need corner. I asked him for valid IISExpress config file. Chatbots are great systetising in areas where there is a strong open source like culture - a lot of people writing tutorials and on stack overflow. The moment you move into area that is not popular to write about, they start making stuff up. And it sux massively. I would much rather seen "I don't know" then what ChatGPT produces currently.
- allsummer 2y agoStart small, like asking him to review your grammar.

- drivingmenuts 2y agoHallucinations come in all sizes. I wouldn't worry about the big hallucinations - those are easy to spot. I worry about the small, incremental hallucinations - the ones you don't notice until several have happened. It might not be possible to even recognize that sort of thing yourself, if you've been effectively gaslighted by AI. Since there's no actual knowledge on the part of the AI, it doesn't know that it's doing it, so it's not malicious (the designers are a separate question). But it is still entirely possible, and even somewhat likely.
