"Nearly half of marketers (47.1 percent) encounter AI inaccuracies several times a week, and over 70 percent spend hours fact-checking each week. More than a third (36.5 percent) say hallucinated or incorrect AI content has gone live publicly, most often due to false facts, broken source links, or inappropriate language. In our LLM test, ChatGPT had the highest accuracy (59.7 percent), but even the best models made errors, especially on multi-part reasoning, niche topics, or real-time questions."
"The tools you probably use, like ChatGPT or Claude, likely won't produce anything that bizarre. Their misses are sneakier, like outdated numbers or confident explanations that fall apart once you start looking under the hood. In a fast-moving industry like digital marketing, it's easy to miss those subtle errors. This made us curious: How often is AI actually getting it wrong? What types of questions trip it up? And how are marketers handling the fallout?"
Marketers frequently encounter AI inaccuracies, with 47.1% seeing errors several times per week and over 70% spending hours fact-checking weekly. 36.5% report hallucinated or incorrect AI content went live publicly, commonly due to false facts, broken links, or inappropriate language. LLM testing showed ChatGPT had the highest accuracy (59.7%), though all models struggled with multi-part reasoning, niche topics, and real-time questions. Common hallucination types included fabrication, omission, outdated information, and misclassification, often expressed confidently. Teams largely add approval layers or assign fact-checkers, while 23% still use outputs without review.
