Researchers are exploring epistemic hygiene as a method to improve the coherence and reduce hallucinations in large language models. This concept, borrowed from human cognitive practices, aims to maintain mental clarity and could be adapted to help AI systems retain their cognitive consistency. The approach suggests that by applying principles of epistemic hygiene, LLMs might become more reliable and less prone to generating inaccurate information. AI
