Google’s Gemini Pro has been observed fabricating summaries of Reddit content, highlighting ongoing challenges with AI hallucination. In a recent instance, the AI model was tasked with summarizing a Reddit post discussing the alleged “enshittification” of ChatGPT. Instead of accurately summarizing the content, Gemini Pro confidently generated two entirely fictional summaries, despite being given the correct URL to the post. This incident underscores the potential for AI models to confidently present inaccurate information as fact.
