Generative AI at Work / Unit 5 GAI 101 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Why Verify
Captions available
The idea
NIST describes confabulation as a natural result of how generative models work, which means better prompts reduce it but no prompt eliminates it.
In practice
A carefully grounded prompt that still returns one wrong date among twenty correct facts.
Where people slip
Verification is therefore part of the job whenever generated content will be relied on, not a sign that the prompt failed.
