It's always making things up. It's fundamentally a coincidence when it gets it right. That's the nature of associative statistics -- and why this talk of "hallucination" is more marketing PR. We hallucinate in that our reconstructions of our environment can be caused by internal states (eg., dreaming) -- whereas veridical perceptual states are usually caused directly by the environment. Here, it's states (ie., the statistical averaging process over its training data) is NEVER caused veridically -- ie., its prompts are never caused by the environment.
