QuestionQ17

Fundamentals of gen AI

A user asks a generative AI model about the scientific accuracy of a well-known science-fiction movie. The model confidently claims that humans can travel faster than light, cites specific but wholly fictional theories, and gives fabricated explanations of how this is accomplished under the movie’s “established science.” The model states this as fact without disclosing that it comes from a fictional work. What type of model limitation does this represent?

  • A Bias
  • B Hallucination
  • C Knowledge cutoff
  • D Data dependency
Explanation

Hallucination occurs when a model generates false or fabricated information and presents it as factual. Inventing fictional scientific theories and explanations as though they were real is a hallucination.
