Introduction
Generative AI chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini routinely make things up. They fabricate—or “hallucinate”, to use the technical term—historical events and figures, legal cases, academic papers, non-existent tech products and features, biographies, and news articles (Edwards, 2023). They’ve even suggested that eating mucus and rocks can lead to better health and encouraged users to put glue on their pizza to keep the cheese from slipping off (McMahon & Kleinman, 2024; Piltch, 2024).
