And why would your example be considered a hallucination, then? The truth is, we have no need for the notion as it applies to AI. It's just a catchy term that sounds great in the media. Nothing the algorithm spits out is a hallucination (or else ALL of it is) because, quite literally, It's all the same uncontrollable output. It'd be as weird as saying your autocorrect feature "hallucinated" any time it presented the "wrong" word to you. (As if it's of clear mind the other times?!)
