"Hallucination isn't a bug you can fix — it's a property you design around"
AI models make things up, confidently, and no amount of clever engineering makes the rate zero. The honest answer is not a fix — it is design: grounding, validation and review gates that keep a wrong answer from doing serious harm.
If an AI supplier ever tells you they have eliminated hallucination, walk away. Hallucination (the model stating something false with complete confidence) is not a bug that a clever engineer patches out. It is a property of how these models work, and the honest way to handle it is to design your product so that a wrong answer cannot do serious harm.
Have an AI feature stuck between demo and production?
The gap — reliability, evals, cost control, the plumbing that keeps it running unattended — is exactly the work I do. If that sounds familiar, a short conversation is usually enough to point you the right way.
