> In most subjects I have found ChatGPT to be fairly reliable.

Not the OP, but I am very curious what subjects you have experimented with and whether you used any special prompt techniques.

My experience has been quite on the contrary: on the few subjects I have some understanding of, ChatGPT appears to do fine for basic questions and attempts to summarize concepts at a high-level, but any attempt at drilling in to specifics seem to cause it to hallucinate quite a bit, particularly with regards to concrete facts or citations or anything of that sort.

Most of my questioning have been practical questions relating to computer science / programming and language learning (English / Spanish). I have asked a lot of other general knowledge questions, but nothing exceptionally deep.

Can you give more detail as to the hallucinations that you found?
