AI chatbots are far from bulletproof when it comes to accuracy. Research reveals they fabricate information roughly 15% of the time across the board—but the devil's in the details.

Take ChatGPT. Despite dominating with 81% market share, it's actually the worst performer in workplace reliability. The bot hallucinates and spits out false data around 35% of the time. Yeah, you read that right. Over one-third of responses can be straight-up wrong.

Google Gemini? Even worse. It tops the hallucination charts at 38%, making it the most prone to inventing facts from thin air.

For anyone relying on these tools—whether building Web3 applications, conducting market research, or automating workflows—this is a reality check. Market share doesn't equal trustworthiness. Before taking any AI-generated output as gospel, especially in high-stakes decisions, verify through secondary sources. The convenience is real, but so is the risk.

ChatGPT has the largest market share but ironically crashes the most severely. This is really interesting... A 35% error rate and still dare to use it for work? I don't believe it.

ChatGPT has the highest market share but makes the most mistakes? That's hilarious. This is the crypto world—big players are the most ruthless.

ngl, this is literally the supply chain crisis of AI tbh. ChatGPT spitting false data 35% of the time? that's worse than an unverified farmer's market stall claiming organic credentials lmao

Damn, one-third of ChatGPT's answers are wrong? I used to trust it quite a bit... Gemini is even more outrageous, 38%? How are you supposed to use that, brother? No wonder I always felt something was off when working on Web3 projects; turns out AI was just making things up... This data needs to be spread carefully to prevent more people from falling into traps. You still have to verify yourself; even the most convenient tools can't be trusted. ChatGPT has the highest market share but is actually the worst, it cracks me up. Now I just ask AI to draft something, then I go through and revise it myself... This is why the big shots say not to blindly trust AI outputs. I deleted Gemini; I feel like I was scammed.
