Ask Us: Frequently Asked Questions (Coalinga)

We say a generative AI has hallucinated when it has made something up, invented a "fact". Generative means productive, so every time you ask it a question it is producing, word-by-word and phrase-by-phrase, an answer. Most of the time, the connections it makes between words reflect reality. But sometimes, they do not. Crucially, the model does not know the difference.
