What you'll learn
  • →Learn what an AI hallucination is: a fact, source, quote, or person the AI invented that sounds completely real.
  • →Understand why this happens: the model is predicting plausible text, not retrieving truth.
  • →Recognize that hallucinations are most dangerous when they sound the most confident.
Proof task
