Generative AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini frequently invent or omit facts when responding to queries about businesses, with one study finding 93% of companies had at least one factual inaccuracy. Smaller businesses are disproportionately affected, experiencing higher rates of fabricated data and name confusion. This occurs because models often fill information gaps with plausible-sounding but incorrect details, especially when less data is available online, unlike when summarizing provided documents. Furthermore, different AI models rarely agree on answers, and even repeated queries to the same model can yield inconsistent results, unlike traditional search engines. AI
