That’s the issue. LLM’s aren’t trustworthy. They hallucinate.
I presume, as the default, that anything a LLM produces is a hallucination right out of the gate.
"Hallucination" implies LLMs can meaningfully perceive. They can't, they're not made that way and they have no reason to be.
We’re arguing language now though, and by definition it isn’t “hallucinating”. By saying that’s what’s happening, you’re unintentionally legitimizing the “AI is making decisions” misinformation.
To get really pedantic, “flashback” would be a better label. It’s not making things up whole cloth, just repeating stuff way out of context.
