    hallucination refers to a specific bug (AI confidently BSing) rather than all bugs as a whole

      (AI confidently BSing)

      Isn’t it more accurate to say it’s outputting incorrect information from a poorly processed prompt/query?

        No, because it’s not poorly processing anything. It’s not even really a bug. It’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do, spit out words in the “shape” of an appropriate response to whatever was just said

          When I wrote “processing”, I meant it in the sense of getting to that “shape” of an appropriate response you describe. If I’d meant this in a conscious sense I would have written, “poorly understood prompt/query”, for what it’s worth, but I see where you were coming from.
