⚠️ Risks & rules
Hallucination
Hallucinations, hallucinations
A convincingly worded but false or invented statement by a model.
💭 Imagine …
A very confident colleague who'd rather invent something plausible than say “I don't know”.
🔎 Example
Invented sources, wrong legal sections, a product feature that doesn't exist.
🎯 Why it matters
Language models optimise for plausible language, not truth. Check important things at the source. RAG and citations help but guarantee nothing.
