Misinformation machines? Common sense the best guard against AI chatbot 'hallucinations,' experts say

College students Tabatha Fajardo, Jay Ram and Kyra Varnavas give their take on the development of AI in the classroom on'The Story.' Artificial intelligence experts have advised consumers to use caution and trust their instincts when encountering "hallucinations" from artificial intelligence chatbots. "The number-one piece is common sense," Kayle Gishen, chief technology officer of Florida-based tech company NeonFlux, told Fox News Digital. People should verify what they see, read or find on platforms such as ChatGPT through "established sources of information," he said. AI is prone to making mistakes -- "hallucinations" in tech terminology -- just like human sources. The word "hallucinations" refers to AI outputs "that are coherent but factually incorrect or nonsensical," said Alexander Hollingsworth of Oyova, an app developer and marketing agency in Florida.
