Reducing AI Hallucinations in Johnny 5

What Are AI Hallucinations?

AI hallucinations are when an AI assistant provides an answer that sounds confident but is factually incorrect or made up. For example, the AI might invent a feature, misquote data, or provide instructions that do not exist.

This happens because AI models are designed to predict the next best word in a sentence, not to guarantee truth. If the instructions are unclear or the model is not strong enough, it can “fill in the gaps” with inaccurate information.

Why Do They Happen?

Hallucinations usually occur for three reasons:

• Vague instructions: If the AI does not have clear rules to follow, it may improvise.

• Limitations of the model: Older AI models are more prone to generating errors.

• Complex queries: The harder the question, the more likely the AI will try to guess.

2. Upgraded to ChatGPT-5
