In my experience, when given real world data to run on, they don't hallucinate that often. Its when you ask it to regurgitate stored info that its off by a wild amount sometimes. Fixing or comparing code is like AI 101, unlike code generation where it may be incorrect.
I strongly disagree. Every response longer than one line of code or longer than 1-2 sentences on a non-trivial task, has at least inaccuracies or mistakes. When working with something AI has created, I had to go in and fix it manually in 100% of those cases. That's why I limit the use of AI to only type-ahead suggestions, as I can easily verify them and don't waste more time than creating the result manually.
