> Hallucinates is a far more accurate description. This is still a form of anthropomorphism. Every non-deterministic search algorithm (a.k.a. "AI") relies on pseudo-random number generators (PRNG's) and usually employ scoring/weighting functions to determine what the algorithm will search. Sometimes PRNG values will result in an algorithm searching less likely solution-spaces despite what a scoring function may rate. This is needed in order to avoid over-specialization and allow for edge-case discovery (amongst other benefits). Depending on the algorithm, this may be the only solution proffered.
