Fun fact, "confabulation", not "hallucinating" is the correct term what LLMs actually do.
- mystified5016 2y agoFun fact, the "correct" term is the one in use. Dictionaries define language after the fact, they do not prescribe its usage in the future.
- trash_cat 2y agoConfabulation means generating false memories without intent to deceive, which is what LLMs do. They can't hallucinate because they don't perceive. 'Hallucination' caught on, but it's more metaphor than precision.
