Anyone reckon there's a chance that GPT hallucinates because it was trained on online material (e.g. reddit and other forums)? I'd have to say on topics I know GPT is about as hit or miss as a random internet comment, especially in that they'll both give a confidently stated answer whether the answer is factual or not.

Is it possible GPT just thinks[0] that any answer stated confidently is preferable over not giving an answer?

Promise I'm not just being snarky, legitimate wonder!
