Are hallucinations solved?

Summary

The author reflects on their reduced experience with hallucinations in frontier AI models and asks the community for opinions on whether hallucinations have been solved.

For years, the discussion about LLMs included hallucinations as a big part. Now, the only real talk I hear about hallucinations comes from those who use AI rarely if ever, or who are using very small or dated models (e.g. the model that does Google summaries or some other instant model / voice chat model). But as I reflect on my own usage (mostly GPT-5.6 Sol with some Fable), I can't honestly remember the last time I encountered a true hallucination. Sure models get lazy or misunderstand what I want, or overgeneralize, or undergeneralize, etc. But it's been months since a model said "factual statement X" and I looked it up and factual statement X was totally false. The last few times that I thought this happened, I spent time verifying and surprised myself in finding that, no, the model was correct, and the information I had before was wrong. So I am curious what the experience is of others on this sub. Do you think hallucinations are solved in frontier publicly available models, or do you still encounter hallucinations using models like GPT-5.6 Sol or Fable? EDIT: Okay clearly most of y’all disagree! Thanks for the vibe check / negative reinforcement.
