But on reflection I don't disagree it was probably made for similar effect in the era of human software development. That sounds like it strengthens my point?
- margalabargala 8d agoOn the contrary I think it weakens your point. People don't consider "bug" a weasel word, to the point that you yourself held it up as an example of not being a weasel word, despite it being a willful, uncontrollable organism. I see no reason why "hallucination" won't become a similar piece of neutral jargon. It already is for many people, even if you're not (yet?) among them.
- usernomdeguerre 8d agoIt becomes a neutral term because we are practicioners (presumably?) who benefit from it and have thus let it become habitual. I already admitted it was weasely upon reflection. If you want this class of LLM error to also become habitual and neutral then fine, I don't, and I think many others don't.
