AI & MLhallucination

Hallucination

When an AI model generates plausible-sounding but factually incorrect information. LLMs hallucinate because they predict likely token sequences, not verified facts. In blockchain development, hallucinations can be dangerous—incorrect API usage, nonexistent functions, or wrong program addresses. Mitigation: RAG for grounding, code verification, testing, and using models with lower hallucination rates.
