I find hallucinations in my (mostly perfect) AI output every single day. If you're not finding them, you're just not looking hard enough. It's not surprising when everyone is screaming about how they don't read code these days.

This is just a fact. I'm sorry if it messes with your narrative.

The sum total of all human observations is still not proof of the lack of hallucinations as a problem (even if their observations were perfect, which they aren't considering the volume produced vs reviewed carefully). That's why you can use a counter example only to disprove and not prove anything.

And yeah I get hallucinations all the time still. Maybe it's because I'm working on harder/more niche problems (like a compiler with an unusual type system), but it happens quite a lot. I don't record all of them.

Although the most common one you can find is them misattributing the source of changes from themselves and also other agents (Fable, Opus 5.5, deepseek, whatever). They'll say "your changes" or "you changed" or "your ruling." I didn't decide anything and it's in their own chat log, and yet...
