We use language like “hallucinations, bullshit, etc.”, because it’s more accurate descriptors for what’s happening.
When I tell you the LLM hallucinated something, you know exactly what I mean. Same for “It’s rationalizing”, “It’s refusing to answer”, “It’s being illogical”.
Your desire to reduce it all down to stats is as a bad as someone arguing that we shouldn’t talk about balls and goals in basketball, because it’s all just atoms.
