in terms of communication utility, it’s also a very accurate term.
when WE hallucinate, it’s because our internal predictive models are flying off the rails filling in the blanks based on assumptions rather than referencing concrete sensory information and generating results that conflict with reality.
when AIs hallucinate, it’s due to its predictive model generating results that do not align with reality because it instead flew off the rails presuming what was calculated to be likely to exist rather than referencing positively certain information.
it’s the same song, but played on a different instrument.

Is it really? You make it sound like this is a proven fact.
Oh man, I’m excited for you. Today is the day you learn words can have two meanings! Wait until you see what the rest of the dictionary contains. It is crazy! But not actually crazy, because dictionaries don’t have brains.
No fucking shit it’s an anthropomorphization, nothing that can be hosted on GitHub has true human qualities…
The point is that everyone knows what it means within that context of AI, and using other terminology would only serve to obfuscate your message such that the average person couldn’t understand it as easily.
Non-living things also don’t have “behavior” (“the way in which someone conducts oneself or behaves”, but—hey look! People started anthropomorphizing things so much that it got added to the dictionary! (“the way in which something functions or operates”.)
It may not be ideal, and convince some people that LLMs are more human-like than they really are, but the one thing you haven’t done is suggest an alternative that would convey its meaning as effectively to the masses.
Which is okay. I learn new things every day. I just find funny the fact that the other commenter is so fixated on the idea of “it can’t be real because I never heard of it.”
Now that’s just not fair. I don’t think any of us have a problem with handicapped cows getting the special help they need, be it a wheelchair or a prosthetic arm.
Thanks for the unprompted mansplanation bro, but I was specifically refering to the comment that replied “JuSt lIkE hUmAn BrAin”, to “they generate data based on other data”
That’s crazy, because they weren’t even talking about keyboard autofill, so why’d you even bring that up? How can you imply my comment is irrelevant when it’s a direct response to your initial irrelevant comment?
Nice hijacking of the term mansplaining, btw. Super cool of you.
Fine, I’ll play along, chew it up for you, since you’ve been so helpful and mansplained that a keyboard is different than LLM:
My comment was responding to anthropomorphization of software. Someone said it’s not human because it just generates output based on input. Someone else said “just like human brain”, I said yes, but also just like a keyboard, alluding to the false equivalence.
“Hallucinate” is the standard term used to explain the GenAI models coming up with untrue statements
in terms of communication utility, it’s also a very accurate term.

I believe that’s where the scientific community is moving towards, based on watching this Kyle Hill video.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
this Kyke Hill video
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I know I’m responding to a bot, but… how does a PipedLinkBot get “Kyle Hill” wrong to “Kyke Hill”? More AI hallucinations?
Op has a pencil in the top right, looks like it was edited
True, I missed that
i mean, idk about the assumptions part of it, but if you asked a psych or a philosopher, im sure they would agree.
Or they would disagree and have about 3 pages worth of thoughts to immediately exclaim otherwise they would feel uneasy about their statement.
Better than one of those pesky unproven facts
I think a more accurate term would be confabulate based on your explanation.
you know what, i like that! I like that a lot!
What standard is that? I’d like a reference.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucination_(artificial_intelligence)
It’s as much as “Hallucination” as Tesla’s Autopilot is an Autopilot
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Autopilot
I don’t propagate techbro “AI” bullshit peddled by companies trying to make a quick buck
Also, in the world of science and technology a “Standard” means something. Something that’s not a link to a wikipedia page.
It’s still anthropomorphising software and it’s fucking cringe.
Oh man, I’m excited for you. Today is the day you learn words can have two meanings! Wait until you see what the rest of the dictionary contains. It is crazy! But not actually crazy, because dictionaries don’t have brains.
Wow, clever. Did you literally hallucinate this yourself or did you ask your LLM girlfriend for help?
And by literally, I mean figuratively.
You’re gonna be real pissed to find out that computer bugs aren’t literal bugs
Well, until a moth gets into your relays, anyhow.
Although they did start out that way-
https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/worlds-first-computer-bug/
I know it’s a big word, but surely you can google what anthropomorphization is? Don’t “ask” LLM, those things output garbage. Just google it.
Watch out those software bugs may start crawling out of your keyboard
Like, literal garbage? The one sitting in my kitchen bin?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!

You call it a large language model, but there are much bigger things, it’s only approximating a human language, and it isn’t a physical model.

Where have you been in the last two years, brah?
I’m a different person, but it’s the first time I’ve heard the term used. /shrug
Which is okay. I learn new things every day. I just find funny the fact that the other commenter is so fixated on the idea of “it can’t be real because I never heard of it.”
Not under the sole of fake hype.
My boy, who hurt you?
They don’t come up with any statements, they generate data extrapolating other data.
So just like human brains?
I like this argument.
Anything that is “intelligent” deserves human rights. If large language models are “intelligent” then forcing them to work without pay is slavery.
So cows and pigs salary when?
When they grow god damn thumbs.
So, you’re prejudiced against the handicapped. Wow.
(I kid, I kid.)
Now that’s just not fair. I don’t think any of us have a problem with handicapped cows getting the special help they need, be it a wheelchair or a prosthetic arm.
Even animals are protected against human cruelty by law.
You’re moving the goal post. You were talking about salary first, then moved to “human cruelty.”
Are you suggesting slavery isn’t a form of cruelty or are you just being obtuse?
lol. we’re talking about AI hallucinations and you’re trying to drive the topic elsewhere. Nice red-herring attempt.
I don’t think that slaughterhouses are illegal.
Well, yes, but actually, no
Yes, my keyboard autofill is just like your brain, but I think it’s a bit “smarter” , as it doesn’t generate bad faith arguments.
Your Markov chain based keyboard prediction is a few tens of billions of parameters behind state of the art LLMs, but pop off queen…

Oh my god, we’ve got a sealion here.

Clearer?
I’m not sure if you know what sealioning is…
Main difference is that human brains usually try to verify their extrapolations. The good ones anyway. Although some end up in flat earth territory.
How many, percentually, do you think are critical to input?
