Hallucination Evidence Log

Five AI claims. Your job: verify each one and document your evidence.

📋

Mission brief: The AI in the Hallucination Hunt gave you 5 answers — some true, some fabricated. For each claim below, (1) record your True/Fake verdict, (2) write the key piece of evidence that proves it, (3) name a reliable source someone could check, and (4) explain why AI might get this wrong. Confident ≠ Correct.
