> My issue is with "hallucination", which everyone takes to be the "problem" with GPT style networks making things up. It's most famous as a problem with ChatGPT specifically, which is presented as a chat interface where an agent answers your question. In that context, it makes sense to think of confident and detailed wrong answers as hallucinations. You could say that it's still an LLM underneath, but then you'd be talking about a layer of abstraction beneath what most people interact with. Given that they tap into the mental model of "chat with an agent" heavily with their interface and interactions, having small disclaimers and saying "I'm just an LLM" from time to time aren't sufficient to counter people's intuitions and expectations.
