If I ask it what color an orange it and it says blue, that would be wrong.
If you ask it a question and it makes up a completely fabricated story, like for example the case files in that recent legal case [1], then saying it was “wrong” doesn’t really seem to capture it.
Calling it a hallucination is a great analogy, because the model made up a plausible sounding, but completely fabricated story. It saw things that were never real.

- rkagerer 3y agoFair enough and thanks. I felt hallucination was too forgiving a term but I can see how others would rank them the other way around and suppose it works.
- sigilis 3y agoThe more accurate term I’ve seen floating around is “confabulation”. It’s also a human phenomenon, but it doesn’t bring all the baggage of hallucinations.
