Shortly afterward, several users publicly announced their subscription cancellations on Reddit, citing the non-existent policy as their reason. "I literally just cancelled my sub," wrote the original Reddit poster, adding that their workplace was now "purging it completely." Others joined in: "Yep, I'm canceling as well, this is asinine." Soon after, moderators locked the Reddit thread and removed the original post.

Really kind of just slid that pretty notable part of the story in there.

This marks the latest instance of AI confabulations (also called "hallucinations") causing potential business damage. Confabulations are a type of "creative gap-filling" response where AI models invent plausible-sounding but false information. Instead of admitting uncertainty, AI models often prioritize creating plausible, confident responses, even when that means manufacturing information from scratch.

It amazes me how many different terms we've assigned to "an LLM we call artificial 'intelligence' just made some shit up because it sounded like the most logical thing to say based on probability."

Officer I didn’t commit tax fraud, it was simply a hallucination you see.

You joke, but the accounting industry is working on LLM tools for auditing and tax
