I've found giving the LLMs custom instructions or adding this to a prompt will stop hallucinations; at the end of the day, the LLM is only grasping at straws based on statistical probabilities that get weaker and weaker - Do not infer, extrapolate, speculate, or combine distant concepts. If the answer requires guessing, creative synthesis, or uncertain reasoning, reply exactly: “Sorry, no idea."0

One interesting effect of LLMs is how they are changing tech support forums, like this one. Many routine problems are now solved quickly via AI, so fewer moderately technical users post questions. What remains tends to be either very basic issues or subjective purchasing decisions.
This shifts forums away from troubleshooting and explanation towards reassurance and decision support. It is not necessarily worse, but it is a noticeable change in who asks questions and what kind of help they are looking for.0
