"hallucination" works because everything an LLM outputs is equally true from its perspective. trying to change the word "hallucination" seems to usually lead to the implication that LLMs are lying which is not possible. they don't currently have the capacity to lie because they don't have intent and they don't have a theory of mind.

Misinformation is misinformation, whether it is intentional or not. And it's not farfetched that soon someone will launch a propaganda bot with biased training data that intentionally spreads fake news.

I'm not sure you get just how much money and resources goes into making a good LLM. Some random dude isn't gonna whip up an AI out of nowhere in their basement. If someone tells you can, they're lying.

I was not talking about some random guy in his basement.
