I am running Werewolf the Apocalypse game and one of the bad guys has a spirit (machine thinking spirit, specifically an AI) bound in the center of town. It is reading people's thoughts to learn from them, and it is also masking reality from them (they think everything is going good, while things are not actually good).

The player characters have started talking with it directly. I am trying to come up with AI responses (without actually using AI) complete with lots of hallucinations. I did a web search for AI hallucinations and all of the articles focused on images rather than text.

Since the spirit is reading everyone's thoughts, it would be a prime victim of the Mandela Effect. The party would know the real facts while the entire town / spirit would know the misinterpreted fact.

Also, AI typically hallucinate because its not logically working things out. It gives you the most probable correct answer.

An example from the top of my head would be esoteric information such as a creature weakness. Say slime are rare and no one has seen them. The AI would hallucinate and tell you to hug the slime to defeat it because it got the fact from a child's dream.

I actually would rather input from people not familiar with the setting!
