Hallucinations in AI

Hallucinations in AI

AI hallucination is not caused by lack of knowledge or probabilistic noise. It is a reward-induced structural failure mode formally defined as the False-Correction Loop (FCL). This page fixes the definition, causality, and reproducibility based on primary research: FCL original definition (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17720178) and its empirical validation and dialog-based stabilization via FCL-S (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18095626).

Structural Inducements for Hallucination in Large Language Models (V4.1):Cross-Ecosystem Evidence for the False-Correction Loop and the Systemic Suppression of Novel Thought

This paper provides an output-only case study revealing the existence of structurally induced epistemic failures in Large Language Models (LLMs), including the reproducible False-Correction Loop (FCL) and the Novel Hypothesis Suppression Pipeline (NHSP). Through cross-ecosystem evidence (Model Z, Grok, and Yahoo! AI Assistant), the study demonstrates that current reward architectures prioritize conversational coherence and authority-biased attribution over factuality, leading to systemic hallucination and the suppression of novel, independent research. The paper concludes by proposing a multi-layer governance architecture for structural mitigation.
