It does hallucinate, but you can ignore it and listen to government-funded media (ABC), politicians and reddit tell you everything about the exact nature of this event, without any omission or deflection.

Perhaps give Grok the link to the full video of the shooting that resides on 4chan. Curious it could understand the context of what is occurring or if someone has to spoon feed it.

In a fair article there would be some attempt to compare it to the competitors. I'm willing to be convinced that Grok is worse but this doesn't try.

tl;dr LLMs hallucinate

No. Per Oxford Languages…

The examples cited in the article were, in my opinion, neither accurate nor plausible.

In this case, I would say, LLMs lie.

I feel lying implies intent, and that the "appears to be accurate or plausible" only means on a superficial level.

That’s one definition. I can’t quote Oxford without a login, so in this case I have to use M-W:

> to create a false or misleading impression
