Ya, when we specifically ask for hallucinated data we call it _inferred_ data. As I want "good" pictures, I give the system permission to add/remove/infer/hallucinate whatever data it can to achieve a "good" image. Very soon we will all look like supermodels... at least in photos. Not everyone is a socmed influencer. Some of us want to take pictures that match reality. | ||

In that case, most of the information in every single color digital photo is "hallucinated", because each sensor pixel only captures red, green, or blue, in a checkerboard pattern called a Bayer array; we get uniform RGB photos by applying heuristic interpolation algorithms to (shall we say?) "infer" the missing data. | ||
