AI is clever, quick, and increasingly part of everyday life. But what happens when it starts making things up and delivers them with the confidence of someone who absolutely knows what they're talking about?This week on Business and a Brew, Dani and Si are diving into the fascinating, occasionally hilarious, and sometimes downright terrifying world of AI hallucinations.From ChatGPT and Claude to Google's AI tools, we're exploring why artificial intelligence can produce completely fabricated information while sounding incredibly convincing. And more importantly, what happens when people believe it!We're talking about lawyers submitting entirely fictional court cases, Air Canada getting into hot water over incorrect information provided by its chatbot, and even a finance worker in Hong Kong reportedly being tricked by deepfake colleagues.Yes, apparently even the people on your video calls might not be who you think they are!Dani and Si also explore what this means for small businesses. Whether you're using AI to write content, research regulations, summarise documents, or make important decisions, there's a real risk of trusting information that hasn't been checked.Because just because ChatGPT says something confidently doesn't mean it's telling the truth!Along the way, we look at AI-generated book recommendations that weren't quite what they seemed, Google's own embarrassing AI demonstration, and why treating artificial intelligence like a very confident intern might be the smartest approach.We're certainly not saying AI is all bad. Far from it! But knowing its limitations could save you from some very expensive, embarrassing, or potentially serious mistakes.So grab your favourite brew, get comfortable, and join us for another conversation full of surprising stories, questionable technology, and the usual Dani and Si banter.The big takeaway? AI is a fantastic assistant, but don't let it become your unquestioned authority. Check the facts, verify your sources, and remember that sounding clever isn't quite the same as being correct!A Word about our sponsor: Chantelle Davison, With nine years of experience as a professional copywriter, she's passionate about helping purpose-led businesses move away from pushy, formulaic marketing and communicate with genuine emotion and authenticity.After experiencing the frustration of following so-called "proven strategies" that never quite felt right, she developed the Feelings Not Features® method, an approach to copywriting that puts human connection, clarity and emotion first.She's since trained over 150 copywriters and marketers in her approach and co-founded Copy College®, a membership helping business owners create marketing that feels good, connects with their audience and actually works.Chantelle is a Artificial Intellegence expert and supports small business owners to learn more about the tools that they can use to save time and money and focus o what is really important.This episode is proudly supported by Chantelle Davison and her Claude Build Sprint, an eight-week programme designed to help small business owners put AI to practical use in their businesses.Forget spending hours experimenting with prompts and wondering what to do next.
