I never assumed intent in bullshitting. I don't think I've ever seen someone else assume it either but that might be clouded by my own biases. Do you have any data on how common it is for people to interpret bullshit as intentional vs not?
OTOH, "hallucination" is defined by Cambridge [0] as:
> the experience of seeing, hearing, feeling, or smelling something that does not exist
That can clearly not be the case for an LLM as it lacks the senses to see, hear, feel or smell. Arguably, some systems can see and hear but I don't think they would be able to sense anything that does not exist.
The dictionary follows on by including LLM hallucinations in its definition, but this seems irrelevant since that's exactly what's in dispute in this post.
