Perplexity AI appears to hallucinate FOMC interest rate decision

Perplexity displays apparent FOMC announcement on homepage

A Reddit user posts a screenshot showing what appears to be FOMC meeting information on Perplexity's front page, questioning whether the information was leaked or generated by AI hallucination.

“Either tomorrow's FOMC meeting was leaked, or AI is hallucinating something very specific... how are we supposed to know what to trust in the news?”
