AI hallucinates more frequently as it gets more advanced — is there any way to stop it from happening, and should we even try?

OpenAI's newest AI models show increased hallucination rates of 33-48%, raising concerns about large language model accuracy. While hallucination enables AI creativity, it poses risks when users rely on potentially false information in critical fields. Experts propose mitigating this through verified data sources, structured reasoning, and teaching models to recognize uncertainty. Ultimately, AI-generated content may require the same scrutiny as human sources.
