The problem I have with this is it seems too generic. Shouldn't we try to categorize the types of errors at least somewhat?

- ethanbond 3y agoSure, and it's probably wise not to pick error categorizations that impute consciousness onto a thing that's 1) almost certainly not conscious, 2) behaves quite similarly to a conscious thing, and 3) might become conscious at some point in the near or distant future Hallucinations are definitionally features of conscious experience. Pick a different word or make one up!
- SirMaster 3y agoI guess to me hallucination doesn't necessarily imply consciousness. "an experience involving the apparent perception of something not present" I guess it depends on exactly how you define "experience" and "perception". But yeah there are better words than hallucination that are even more generic and do work better.
