TruthfulQA is a benchmark consisting of exactly 817 questions designed to mimic common falsehoods and idiom-based traps that LLMs tend to replicate
Summary
It's a fixed 817-question test designed to expose a specific weakness in language models: their tendency to parrot back popular misconceptions or misleading-sounding phrasing as if it were fact. The exact count matters because any evaluation or comparison referencing this benchmark is scoped to those 817 items and no more, so results should not be generalized beyond that set.
