Fix AI hallucinations with data grounding instead of strict prompts

Product managers often try to fix AI hallucinations by writing stricter prompts, but this makes the model a smoother liar. Properly fixing AI hallucinations requires understanding why prompt warnings fail. When a model lacks real data, it guesses the next word. Adding strict warnings is like turning up the volume on a fuzzy radio. You just get louder static. A stern prompt gives no new information, so the model guesses with higher confidence. Instead of yelling at the prompt, give the model a better antenna by feeding it source text. Grounding the model with data and telling it to say it does not know when text is empty is highly effective. Admitting ignorance prevents smooth lies.
