Could you build this?
No Detecting AI hallucinations without an AI pipeline using tree-based algorithmic structures requires novel theoretical NLP, formal verification, or deterministic parsing algorithms.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires specialized NLP and formal logic expertise to parse text into semantic parse trees or dependency graphs and cross-reference them against structured knowledge graphs or truth tables. The pipeline would likely be built in Rust or C++ for performance, handling semantic extraction, tree unification, and fact-checking logic entirely deterministically without neural network backbones. Designing algorithms that accurately verify freeform natural language facts purely via deterministic symbolic tree operations remains an active academic research challenge.
