Humans In The Loop Won't Fix AI Hallucinations. Here's Why.
AI hallucinations are not temporary glitches but fundamental features of how large language models operate, generating plausible yet false information through pattern prediction rather than fact retrieval. Despite widespread reliance on human oversight to catch these errors, confirmation bias and practical constraints make such review inadequate, raising critical questions about professional liability when AI-assisted work contains fabricated citations or data. As courts begin sanctioning professionals for
