Absolutely fascinating (and rather concerning): just spoke to some classic educated German middle class boomers - the ones who still read the newspaper and listen to public broadcast radio - and they had NEVER HEARD THAT AI HALLUCINATES!!
Like, they didn’t even know the concept 🤯

Well duh.
If you believe the more forward-leaning enthusiasts, detail hallucinations are a diminishing problem that does not affect the overall quality of the service.
I doubt the boomers have used it in anything where hallucinations would be a real threat. They are more vulnerable to AI psychosis.
