An entire wikipedia clone built of AI hallucinations.

An Entire Wikipedia That's 100% AI Hallucinations - Slashdot

"Every link leads to an entry that does not exist yet," explains the GitHub page for a Wikipedia-like site called Halupedia. "Until you click it, at which point an LLM pretends it has always existed and writes it for you, in the deadpan register of a 19th-century scholarly press..." Every...

It's entertaining. If you have some imagination, you can have a little fun if you provide interesting search terms.

For instance, I searched for "lorena martinorevich-sulton," a name that I made up in that moment, and it proposed several titles of related topics (all invented by the AI). I then clicked on "Lorena Martinorevich Sulton, Architect of the Obsidian Memorandum," and it created the following entry:

https://halupedia.com/lorena-martinorevich-sulton-architect-of-the-obsidian-memorandum

The less interesting part is that I don't think it's coherent, i.e., the information that appears in the already generated entries is not respected in the new ones.

Edit: After further inspection, it seems it tries to be coherent. At least, when you click a non-existent link on an already existent page, the new page created seems to be coherent with the referring one. That is interesting.

BTW, these are not "hallucinations," these are just made-up articles, mock articles, if you wish. The AI creates them because it's instructed to made them up, not because it hallucinates them.

I searched for "first manned landing on Neptune", the first result it gave me was this.
