Today’s show unpacks an article by senior technical writer Curt Robbins about AI hallucinations. What are the potential harms of hallucinations? How are the billion-dollar companies leading the race for AI dealing with them? What are specific tools and approaches that will help reduce hallucinations and increase reliability of AI output?

Hosts Daphne and Fred share their spirited analysis of the Robbins article, including a clear definition of AI hallucinations and how the industry is currently tackling the issue of how to prevent them. They tell listeners to exercise healthy skepticism and to not assume that the information or content they obtain from an AI LLM is accurate.
