> Hallucination is all an LLM does.

I wish people who take this stance would seriously reconsider their take on how hallucinations are defined and how unhelpful it is to conflate hallucination with generation from a probability distribution. I appreciate OpenAI publishing articles like this because, while the parent comment and I may have to agree to disagree on how hallucinations are defined, I can at least appeal to OpenAI's authority to say that such arguments are not only unhelpful, but also unsound.

You're going to get a lot of pushback on the idea of taking the definition of hallucination seriously. Calling fluently stated bunk "hallucination" feels cynical to begin with. Trying to weave a silk purse out of that sow's ear is difficult.
