I *really* dislike the use of "hallucination" as a way to describe the behavior of LLMs. Not because it anthropomorphizes them, but because hallucinations are disorders of sensory perception. They don't make you spew out plausibly-sounding bullshit.

If you need a familiar term, "confabulation" is probably a better pick.

@lcamtuf "salesmanship" is closer for me: overhears/half-reads something and makes up utter bollocks about it, but it reads well and is plausible enough to be believed
