    Hallucination is a technical term. Nothing to do with thinking. The scientific community could have chosen another term to describe the issue but hallucination explains really well what’s happening.

      huh, i kinda assumed it was a term made up/taken by journalists mostly, are there actual research papers on this using that term?

        It used to mean all generated output though. Calling only mistakes hallucinations is new, definitely because of hype.
