    Illustration: Brendan Lynch/AxiosAI makers could do more to limit chatbots' penchant for "hallucinating," or making stuff up — but they're prioritizing speed and scale instead. Why it matters: High-profile AI-induced gaffes keep embarrassing users, and the technology's unreliability continues to cloud its adoption. The big picture: Hallucinations aren't quirks — they're a foundational feature of generative AI that some researchers say will never be fully fixed.

The big picture: Unlike OpenAI's video generator Sora, released more widely last December, Google DeepMind's Veo 3 can include dialogue, soundtracks and sound effects.
