Max LeibmanI don't like the term "hallucinations" when we talk about AI. Sure, LLMs can get things wrong, but a hallucination is an error in perception, and you can't have an error in perception when there's no one there to perceive. The only hallucinations that are happening are on your side of the keyboard.
Bodhipaksa@maxleibman I was thinking about this just today when someone was talking about AI "hallucinations." (They were kind enough to put it in scare quotes.) I couldn't think of a better term, though.
Perhaps "fabrication" would work, but then everything an LLM does is a fabrication. It just so happens that some of its fabrications correspond with reality. So to be precise it might have to be called something like "Inaccurate fabrications." That's not very catchy, though.
