LLMs also fail to answer simple questions that require a minimal amount of reasoning which demonstrates that they do not have a working model of the world. Their answers to factual questions will change depending on how you phrase the quest

You're confounding hallucination in humans, which is a purely sensory experience, and hallucinations in LLMs, which seems to be used to describe every kind of mistake and deficiency in LLMs. And even if we were to cure schizophrenia in
