Statements from LLMs are to be seen as hallucinations unless proven otherwise by classic research.
We don't need a fancy word that makes it sound like AI is actually intelligent when talking about how AI is frequently wrong and unreliable. AI being wrong is like someone who misunderstood something or took a joke as literal repeating it as factual.
When people are wrong we don't call it hallucinating unless their senses are altered. AI doesn't have senses.
It's not a "fancy word" here, but a technical term. An AI making things up is actually called hallucination.
Technical terms can still be, technically speaking, dumb as fuck.
