    If it makes you feel better, I’ve heard good folks like Emily Bender of Stochastic Parrots fame suggest confabulation is a better term. “Hallucination” implies that LLMs have qualia and are accidentally sprinkling falsehoods over a true story. Confabulation better illustrates that it’s producing a bullshit milkshake from its training data that can only be correct accidentally.
