AI Hallucination
When an AI model states false or fabricated information as fact.
By Brandon Mina·CEO, BrandPilot AI·Updated November 2026
Short answer
An AI hallucination is when an AI model states false or fabricated information as if it were fact, such as invented statistics, quotes or product features. It happens because language models generate plausible text rather than verify truth. In marketing, fact-checking and grounding models in trusted sources help prevent inaccurate claims.
