    It’s a really bad term because it’s usually associated with a mind, and LLMs are nothing of the sort.

      So is bullshitting. More so, only human minds can bullshit.

      We anthropomorphize machines all the time, it’s fine.

      I’d prefer we’d start calling all genai output hallucinations again. It used to be like 10 years ago, but somewhere along the line marketing decided hallucinated truths aren’t “hallucinations”.

        It’s fucking not, amd I’m not changing my mind about it.
