- A government report packed with fake citations made headlines, but the real story sits beneath the scandal: most AI “hallucinations” start with us. We walk through the hidden mechanics of failure—biased prompts, messy context, and vague questions—and show how simple workflow changes turn wobbly models into reliable partners. Rather than blame the tech, we explain how to frame analysis without forcing conclusions, how to version and prioritize knowledge so retrieval stays clean, and how to structure tasks so the model retrieves facts instead of completing patterns.
Luis (human) and Elizabeth (AI) break down the idea of sycophantic AI — where models mirror user bias — and map it to everyday potential issues with AI. Along the way, we share data from over 300,000 skills assessments showing low prompting proficiency, weak critical thinking, and limited error detection—evidence that the gap lies in human capability, not just model capacity.
