AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard, can at times spew inaccurate misinformation or nonsensical text, referred to as "hallucinations." 

"I think what the companies can do, and should have done from the outset … is to make clear to people that this is a problem," Irina Raicu, director of the Internet Ethics Program at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University in California, told Fox News Digital. 

"This shouldn’t have been something that users have to figure out on their own. They should be doing much more to educate the public about the implications of this."
