Gemini fabricating URLs, even with search grounding - Google AI ...
I’ve been utilizing Gemini to generate articles based on highly detailed prompts. To ensure that these articles are well-informed and authoritative, I have enabled the "Grounding with Google search" feature. This setting prompts Gemini to incorporate relevant information obtained from recent analyst forecasts or news articles found through online research.
Despite activating this feature and providing explicit instructions to leverage it, I have encountered a concerning issue. Instead of sourcing information from credible sources, the response sometimes includes fabricated URLs leading to non-existent reports. This undermines the reliability and accuracy of the content generated.
Addressing the Issue
It is crucial to address this issue promptly to ensure that only genuine and valid information is incorporated into the articles. One potential solution is to provide a more concise prompt that specifically directs Gemini to focus on retrieving information from reliable sources. By streamlining the instructions and emphasizing the importance of accuracy, we can mitigate the risk of fabricated URLs.
In the past, I have observed successful outcomes when using search grounding within a more concise prompt. It appears that the clarity and specificity of the instructions play a significant role in guiding Gemini to deliver accurate results.
