AI hallucination
AI hallucination is when language models like ChatGPT confidently produce information that is not true, which can mean false claims about people and brands.
Why it happens
Models predict the likeliest answer from incomplete or conflicting sources; with little consistent information about you, they may invent details or confuse you with a namesake.
What can be done
- Clear, consistent facts on your official site
- Accurate mentions in trusted sources and a Wikidata item
- Reporting wrong answers through the provider's feedback tools
- Data protection requests for false personal data
Frequently asked questions
Can I ask ChatGPT to delete false information about me?
