- ewoodrich 1y agoI think the type of AI coding being used also has an effect on a person's perception of the prevalence of "hallucinations" vs other errors. I usually use an agentic workflow and "hallucination" isn't the first word that comes to my mind when a model unloads a pile of error-ridden code slop for me to review. Despite it being entirely possible that hallucinating a non-existent parameter was what originally made it go off the rails and begin the classic loop of breaking things more with each attempt to fix it. Whereas for AI autocomplete/suggestions, an invented method name or argument or whatever else clearly jumps out as a "hallucination" if you are familiar with what you're working on.
