From the intro blog
"Hallucination and type-safety are intrinsically related"
I'm not entirely sure why we're conflating type safety with, I guess, value or output safety.
"Would you say a linear classifier hallucinates?"
No, but it can be (and often is) mathematically correct and functionally incorrect. It doesn't help to say "a linear classifier can't hallucinate" when you get even 99% accuracy. That's 100% a semantic play, and it doesn't help when the picture of a dog is labeled cat and the response is "yeah but that's not a hallucination, only stupid LLMs do that"
