AI content looks professional. That doesn’t mean it’s accurate.

But, can’t AI tools generate content by themselves?

Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are useful drafting tools. But they’re prone to hallucinations. They can make up statistics, misread charts, invent sources, and contradict themselves … and they do it with complete confidence.

The output comes out clean and confident with no warning signs.

It’s not until you (or your clients) check the finished content that you realize the model made a hash of it.

For small business owners publishing content to build authority and win clients, that’s a risk to your reputation and future sales.

An inaccurate summary in a client-facing report, or one made-up citation in a thought leadership article, is all it takes to lose the credibility you’ve spent years building.

What’s the best way to fix AI-generated errors?

The fix is easy. Fact-check and edit the output, so it’s accurate and reads like a human wrote it. Sounds simple, right? The problem is most people don’t have time to sit down and check citations when they’re in a rush.

Case in point: an agency recently contacted me to run through a 23-page document because they found several factual errors and some hallucinated statistics. Their team didn’t have time to compare the document against the source material, but if they had let it go, it would’ve created massive headaches and potential liabilities for the end-client.

That’s why businesses turn to an AI editing service before anything goes public.

Imagine your company operates in a regulated industry like health care, insurance, energy, or finance. One hallucinated fact could open your brand to potential audits, investigations, or lawsuits depending on the severity of the mistake.

Why do AI hallucinations happen?

There are several reasons, including language model resource limitations and the quality of training data and prompts. Language models are designed to function like a sort of enhanced autocorrect. They predict the most statistically relevant string of words to respond to your query, based on its training data.

What training data? For most publicly available models, they’re trained on sources like Reddit, internet forums, public domain information, and any content that AI companies have contracted to use (or scraped from the internet). Why is Reddit cited so often? Because in 2024, Reddit signed a $60 million per year deal with Google to use it’s content to train language models.

Models aren’t independently thinking. They’re not analyzing the accuracy of training data. They’re simply calculating statistically probable words (mainly from forums and free websites) and feeding them back to you.

It’s kind of like asking all the internet forums in the world to draft content for you. How accurate should you expect it to be?

In 2023, a Stanford HAI study found a 58%-82% hallucination rate in legal research queries. In 2025, the numbers were better (17% hallucination rate), but that’s nowhere near perfect. A Vals AI report, also in 2025, found an 80% accuracy rate on queries. (Both studies are accessible through the link above.)

Multiple studies have shown language model accuracy hovers around 80%.
