I like the Possible Hallucinations feature. Seems like a feature that could stand on its own. Interested in how you separate those out.

#182Yeah, that went about as well as I would have expected. It dug up a bunch of what can only be my information, then made up a bunch of confidently wrong things to say about me. I'm a Software Engineer and SaaS guy, known for running the company "[random word from my blog] Software" and his [different word from my blog] Blog.

Im an adult content creator and artist, apparently. I am neither.
So, you must be a dog! ("On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog").
Jokes aside, I wonder if people from countries with 2+ names and 2+ last names get different results. In my case, I get a lot of false positives because there's apparently a lot of people with same first name and first last name. Luckily, none of them were me.

In my case the possible hallucination was the only one that was 100% factual.

Same with me, apparently three different models think I am a minor football player. Looking it up, I am not the first result for my full name, but there also is no minor football player with that name, so…
Also have an extremely common name in Portugal (just in my company there are 4 people with my name, including my previous manager), only slightly helped by the fact that we’re one of the few countries that inherits last names from both parents, which helps with differentiation. At least I did snag pedroalves.pt when I found it available!
EDIT: Username does better, but for some reason Kimi seems to think I do algorithmic competitions, and Llama 3.1 thinks I am a German football club (no longer just a player, a whole club now!)

Straight to jail bud, the AI says you're guilty so it must be true
We can help strengthen the case by making the website about it.
Let's also make a match history page with all those soccer players. Generating the video will have to wait a few years.

#186Apparently according to Gemini, I, the only person in the world with my name (unique first name + long complex last name) am a professional soccer player. Yeah, be careful with answers you get from AIs.
Likewise, unique name, is mostly wring about me, thinks I’m a French politician and hallucinates that I’m an actor (my sister is).

Very fun! One thing confused me in the story: are "Ibrahim" and "Ibrahima" interchangeable? Naming children after grandparents gets particularly fun when meeting up with cousins!
Orally they are interchangeable. Though, I only ever append the “a” when speaking in my native language.

Thanks! It is part of the clustering step, I tell the model to make a judgement of whether something is inanimate or hallucinated (as defined by low support from only non-frontier models / judgement). I iterated on this a lot and made an eval set out of my LinkedIn contacts where I run GPT5.5 with web search and xhigh reasoning to determine pseudo ground truth. I tuned this to be higher recall (more things classified as non-hallucination) but it is definitely not perfect

I have a last name that only my family holds in Denmark (which means me and my brother by now), yet it managed to tag me a Professional Football Player, MP for the Socialist Party and Founder of a Sleep Mattress Company.
I do like the visuals though.
