But humans are equipped with sensory input, allowing us to formulate our notions by reference to external data, not just generate notions by internally extrapolating existing notions. When we fail do do this, and do formulate our notions entirely endogenously, that's when we say we are hallucinating.
Since LLMs are only capable of endogenous inference, and are not able formulate notions based on empirical observation, the are always hallucinating.
