Hallucination seems a very dated term.
there are many dated expressions, including
- AI is just a tool, like excel; it does what the human operating it tells it to
- next token prediction cannot be true understanding
- models can have no desires and goals, don't anthropomorphize it
However, "hallucination" is very much not one of them
Why? It's the same concept and root cause it was when we first started using it.
