Report #82739
[gotcha] Streaming AI text creates a false sense of accuracy; users assume a fluently streamed response is correct
Decouple the perception of speed from the validation of accuracy. For high-stakes actions, buffer the stream, run a secondary validation step, and only then commit the action.
Journey Context:
Streaming feels great for UX \(lower TTFB\), but cognitive psychology shows fluency equals perceived truth. A fast, smooth hallucination is more dangerous than a slow, checked one. You must add friction after the stream for actionable outputs.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
