Vectara has published an AI hallucination leaderboard that ranks various leading AI chatbots according to their ability to not 'hallucinate.' It's obviously designed to highlight the extent to which the various public large language models (LLMs) hallucinate, but what does this mean, why is it important, and how is it being measured?

One of the characteristics of AI chatbots we have become wary of is their tendency to 'hallucinate' — to make up facts to fill in gaps. A highly
