    The technical term used in industry is confabulation. I really think if we used that instead of anthropomorphic words like hallucination it would make it easier to have real conversations about the limits of LLMs today. But then OpenAI couldn’t have infinite valuation so instead we hand wave it away with inaccurate language.
