While technically true the hallucination rates on modern models is low and other checks can ensure that by the time a human sees it it is most likely solid.
For research there is more danger as there is less feedback loop other than other LLM scrutinising the first. For research I get it to come to a conclusion but provide me with links so I can judge. More like advanced search.
Isn’t this entirely context dependent? Where did you get the information that modern models have low hallucination rates? I’d love to see the benchmark if there is one, it seems like it would be useful to track.
Most likely? That’s not reassuring at all. So you’re saying the other checks can result in hallucinations?
But making a decision the human reviewer disagrees with or misunderstanding a spec but maybe not asking a follow up isn't hallucination in my book.
Hallucination is just making stuff up without checking.
