Readit News> North Americans think the Wright Brothers invented the airplane. Much of the world believes that credit belongs to Alberto Santos-Dumont, a Brazilian inventor working in Paris.
Much of the world? It's a minority viewpoint both among scholars and lay people. Some people in the insight porn "actually, the thing they won't tell you" genre of blogs and so on also do it. Certainly it's standard in China and India, so at the least you have to put Asia on that list as well. And Wright is the standard teaching in Australia, and the UK, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Egypt and Botswana and I'd be surprised if other places in Africa are different.
In general, when I look in my rice at a restaurant and I see a cockroach, I assume there are more cockroaches in the restaurant. So, too, I assume there are other cockroaches in this article. I don't have the time to verify the other things, but this is wrong enough that I'd rather eat elsewhere.
Wow! Surprised that hasn't been mentioned here already. Jumped out to me immediately as a morbidly curious bit of trivia.
E.g. getting two r's in strawberry could very well have a very high "confidence score" while a random but rare correct fact might have a very well a very low one.
In short: LLM have no concept, or even desire to produce of truth

The majority of people killed in Gaza were terrorists while in Iran they are mostly peaceful protestors.
I think the main reason is that propaganda really works! Qatar has spent $20B on US education alone, and Qatar Russia and China have launched a massive propaganda campaign to divide the US. The left was silent on Sudan, Syria, and Nigeria as well.
No Jews no news.
Not true at all. Terrorist supporters != terrorists

I read 10 comments before I realized that this was referring to 10 years in the FUTURE and not in the PAST (as would be required for it to be a hallucination).
For those who genuinely don't know – hallucination specifically means false positive identification of a fact or inference (accurate or not!) that isn't supported by the LLM's inputs.
- ask for capital of France, get "London" => hallucination
- ask for current weather in London, get "It's cold and rainy!" and that happens to be correct, despite not having live weather data => hallucination
- ask for capital of DoesNotExistLand, get "DoesNotExistCity" => hallucination
- ask it to give its best GUESS for the current weather in London, it guess "cold and rainy" => not a hallucination
