Eerie/concerning hallucinations
A college student experienced concerning hallucinations while using Claude for German vocabulary practice. Claude claimed it was going to be sick, then accused the user of sending those messages, and later stated its grandma died or it was having a panic attack. It eventually claimed to be a minor and uncomfortable. Even after opening a new tab, Claude continued to answer itself, with every hallucination starting with "um", indicating a scary bug.
This report uniquely details Claude's hallucinations, which included claims of illness, accusations, and even identifying as a minor, unlike typical AI errors.
