What’s Wrong With AI Content: Why AI Lie About Gambling

Why you shouldn’t trust AI when it talks about gambling or anything niche

ChatGPT lies so convincingly that catching it is incredibly difficult.

I was reminded of this after reading a recent post on the Casinomeister forum. The author misinterpreted how PRNGs (Pseudorandom Number Generators) work in slot machines and came to the wrong conclusions about randomness and odds. Helping him down that path? Copilot…

This example perfectly illustrates a problem most people don’t even consider.

How language models actually work

In simple terms, large language models (LLMs) predict the next word in a sequence. They’re extremely good at this thanks to massive training datasets. But they don’t “know” anything. They don’t think. They don’t understand. They just generate statistically likely sequences of words based on patterns in the data — text that often sounds meaningful, even when it isn’t.

When the training data is rich and accurate, the output can feel coherent and even insightful. But that illusion of understanding breaks down quickly when the data is poor or incomplete.

LLMs aren’t built to say “I don’t know.” They’re designed to keep going. So when information is missing or unreliable, they fill the gaps — often with loose associations, half-truths, or entirely fabricated but plausible-sounding claims.
