Stop asking AI to be creative. Ask it to be correct

Since ChatGPT launched in 2022, users often outsource creative tasks like brainstorming and strategy to AI, while still spending a third of the workweek on low-value mundane tasks. Meanwhile, research indicates that AI hallucinations may stem from the pressure to provide answers even when none are viable. Experts suggest that allowing AI to admit when it is wrong could potentially stop these hallucinations, shifting the focus from AI creativity toward ensuring absolute correctness.
