As Large Language Models become more ubiquitous across domains, it becomes important to examine their inherent limitations critically. This work argues that hallucinations in language models are not just occasional errors but an inevitable feature of these systems. We demonstrate that hallucinations stem from the fundamental mathematical and logical structure of LLMs. It is, therefore, impossible to eliminate them through architectural improvements, dataset enhancements, or fact-checking mechanisms. Our analysis draws on computational theory and Godel's First Incompleteness Theorem, which references the undecidability of problems like the Halting, Emptiness, and Acceptance Problems. We demonstrate that every stage of the LLM process-from training data compilation to fact retrieval, intent classification, and text generation-will have a non-zero probability of producing hallucinations. This work introduces the concept of Structural Hallucination as an intrinsic nature of these systems. By establishing the mathematical certainty of hallucinations, we challenge the prevailing notion that they can be fully mitigated.
You’re completely misreading me. You qouted me saying the words “truthful new knowledge”, but not me saying AI/LLMs generate that. What i was saying at the begining is that it cant do thst and be useful at the same time. Because it can only be reliable when severely controlled and in this case it loses its utility. Knowledge that can be reliably and automatically verified is not truly novel or interesting, its just old knowledge rehashed.

I’m misreading you because it’s incoherent and read like apologia for LLMs.
Its just your expectations. Sorry for confusing you.
