^You ask an AI for an answer for a question to an event that hasn't happened (so there would be nothing to search or validate with), and you will get an answer accordingly based on that request
Even for a model as advanced as Gemini Pro 3.1, it will have a 50% hallucination rate if there is no answer to be had (and that is a big improvement)

Now contrast that to this where there is an actual answer: this is the gemini answer today

In a thrilling conclusion to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina, the United States won the men's hockey gold medal on February 22, 2026.
The Americans defeated Canada with a final score of 2-1 in overtime. This victory was particularly historic as it fell on the 46th anniversary of the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" and marked the first time since then that the U.S. men's team has stood atop the Olympic podium.
Game Highlights
The "Golden Goal": Jack Hughes scored the game-winner 1:41 into the 3-on-3 overtime period, sliding the puck past Canadian goaltender Jordan Binnington.
Star Performance: U.S. goaltender Connor Hellebuyck was named the game's standout performer, making 41 saves to withstand a heavy Canadian offensive.
Regulation Scoring: Matt Boldy opened the scoring for the U.S. in the first period, while Cale Makar tied the game for Canada late in the second period.
A "Double Gold": This win completed a U.S. sweep of hockey gold in 2026, as the U.S. women’s team also defeated Canada 2-1 in overtime just three days earlier (February 19).

People are deliberately skeptic and AI can be hilariously confident while wrong, but hallucinations are fast becoming lesser and lesser with each iteration (Google just released Gemini Pro 3.1) and can be incredibly accurate.
Much like the 6 hands thing for images, hallucinations are greatly diminishing even when no answer is available and the accuracy when the answer is available is extremely high.
I don't understand, technology and advancements don't stop on a dime. This will continue to improve and is much better than even months ago (let alone 2-3 years ago where we were just getting wow'd with chatgpt as a brand new thing), and will continue to do so. You certainly have to understand its limit and how much you can rely on it based on those limits, but those limits are constantly changing.
