"The hard truth is that [LLM] hallucination can be reduced, but it cannot be fully eliminated with today’s probabilistic generation models. It’s not just an accidental mistake — it’s a structural byproduct of how these systems generate language. No matter how good alignment and safety layers become, there will always be edge cases where the model fills a gap instead of stopping.
In the AI era, machines handle generation, but humans still have to handle judgment. If people fully outsource judgment to AI, hallucination feels like deception. If people keep judgment in the loop, hallucination becomes manageable noise instead of a catastrophic failure."
