AI Accidents Gallery
Stories of Machine Mischief, Human Confusion, and Unexpected Delight.
This is a growing collection of real-world encounters with generative AI: sometimes funny, sometimes flawed, and often surprisingly revealing.
Each story shows how AI can deceive us—and how we sometimes deceive ourselves in the process. Together, we’ll decode the patterns behind these moments of confident nonsense, subtle persuasion, charming misfires, and the occasional flash of brilliance that make working with AI both fraught and fascinating.
Explore the gallery, share your own, and see why understanding AI’s accidents is the first step toward using it wisely.

The Measured Hallucination is when GenAI invents facts, names, or events that sound real—and presents them in a thoughtful, considered way. It can be even more deceptive than an obvious error.
