Reddit user says asking LLMs for dated, citable evidence cuts hallucinations

A Reddit user shared a prompt trick to suppress LLM hallucinations: asking the model for verifiable, citable, evidence-based answers with dates from the last month. The idea came from watching two LLMs chat to each other—they kept demanding sources, which eliminated or caught nearly all hallucinations. Personal anecdote, not systematically validated, but easy to try.
