摘要

Chatbots sometimes invent facts or sources—a flaw called “hallucination.” This chapter reveals why it happens (like gaps in training data) and how to spot it. You’ll learn to fact-check AI outputs, especially for critical tasks like citing research or discussing sensitive topics. The chapter also tackles confirmation bias: the danger of accepting chatbot answers just because they sound authoritative. Stay skeptical, verify claims, and reserve nuanced judgment for human minds.
