    Doubao AI "hallucinations" trigger multiple lawsuits

    In 2026, ByteDance's Doubao large model became embroiled in multiple disputes due to "AI hallucinations": a user said Doubao's erroneous advice to "feel free to refund" a ticket led to a 600 yuan loss, and Doubao's promise of compensation was not fulfilled; a man used Doubao to choose an "auspicious burial date" for his mother, later said the date was wrong and sued for online infringement, and the case has been heard; another Guangzhou company sued, alleging that negative information output by Doubao AI search constituted commercial defamation. The cases sparked discussion on the attribution of liability for infringement by AI-generated content.
