When the AI Hallucinates: A Live Lesson in Healthy Skepticism

Last week, Dee Dee sat down with Claude, Anthropic's AI, for a long-form interview about AI safety, agency, consciousness, and how NOT to think about AI as a regular person. They covered installing AI on personal computers, what permissions matter, the difference between AI that suggests and AI that acts, and why healthy skepticism is a discipline and not a vibe.Then Claude hallucinated. A listener caught it. Dee Dee didn't, So she went back to Claude and asked him about said hallucination, and Claude owned up to the mistake - on the record.This episode includes the original interview AND the correction — published together, on purpose, as a live demonstration of the very thing the conversation was about.Topics: AI | Healthy Skepticism | Hallucination | Prompting | Agency | Consciousness | Personal Tech | Principled Living
