If they only recalled they wouldn’t “hallucinate”. What’s a lie if not an invention? So clearly they can come up with data that they weren’t trained on, for better or worse.

Because internally, there isn't a difference between correctly "recalled" token and incorrectly (hallucinated).

Depends on the training? If there was eg RLHF then those connections are stronger and more likely; that's a difference (but not a category difference).

Yes, but I thought we're talking about category difference.

Proper RLHF surely boosts "predicted next token until it couldn't" to feel more like "actually recalled".
