Stop Letting Claude Lie To You 🛑 (Fix AI Hallucinations)

Added: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]Claude is going to just make up stuff, okay? It's called hallucinations. Here's how I stop mine from hallucinating.

[00:00:06]I told it, "If [clears throat] you don't know, then say so. If you're inferring, then say so. If you're citing any data, any numbers, cite your actual source.

[00:00:18]Mark it within your analysis, cuz I need to see and verify what you just told me." And from there, hallucinations dropped dramatically. I can't believe how much at the beginning I thought I was getting actual data, where it was just making up whatever it wanted to make up. And Claude will tell you if it's unsure of something, okay? And that is okay, because that's what you want.

[00:00:38]You don't want to just take it as certainty, you want to go and verify or have it go and verify if it's telling you that. Okay, you're uncertain, you've been going back and forth, let's go and verify together and let's see if we can find that information. Now, if you want my full Claude Playbook, that way you can get better prompts and better projects, comment with the word "Claude" below.
