Hallucination
Domain: LLM Concepts
🎯 Motivation
LLMs sometimes generate confident-sounding but false information. This is called hallucination - the model makes things up.
📋 Concrete Example
An LLM might confidently cite a research paper that doesn’t exist, or give a wrong biography of a real person. It sounds plausible but is fabricated.
🔗 Analogy
A student who didn’t study but confidently bluffs on an exam - they string together plausible-sounding sentences that sound right but are actually made up. The model doesn’t know it’s wrong.
