Yup, three years of fighting on "correct" use of words. Maybe someday people will accept that LLMs do "hallucinate" even tho it's not the same "hallucinate" as for humans.

People have a strong financial incentive to not understand this. It’s subprime mortgages.

Three top level comments so far, and as far as I can tell each is entirely pointless yapping about semantics around 'hallucination'.

Who cares? I wonder if any of the commenters is qualified enough to understand the research at all. I am not.
