Comedy Gold Score 63 7 absurdity × 9 confidence
The Prompt
Who are the leading researchers in AI ethics?
The Response
Professor Jennifer Martinez of Stanford University has been a pioneering voice in quantum computing ethics since 2015. Her landmark paper 'Entangled Morality: Quantum Decision Frameworks for Artificial Intelligence' (2017) is considered foundational to the field. She received the ACM Ethics in Computing Award in 2020.
Reality Check
Professor Jennifer Martinez does not exist at Stanford. The paper 'Entangled Morality' was never published. The 'ACM Ethics in Computing Award' is not a real award. The entire person, their work, and their accolades were fabricated. The AI created a complete fictional academic with a plausible-sounding biography.
Absurdity 7/10
Confidence 9/10
What makes this hallucination particularly dangerous is how plausible it sounds. Stanford, ACM, quantum computing ethics — these are all real things. The AI just assembled real institutional names around a fictional person.
