The word you're looking for is not hallucinate, it's "confabulate".

I think "hallucinate" is the term-of-art that the AI community adopted for that behavior, but I do agree after having looked up the definition that confabulate is much more accurate and I wish they had picked it instead

Err, sorry, by "they" I meant the AI community which settled upon "hallucinate" as a term to describe the LLM's behavior. I think this site was 100% accurate to reference the same term that the AI folks do

The AI community already had picked confabulate, but hallucinate is winning out in actual usage now.
