IMO "confabulation" is more accurate than "hallucination" because the former indicates a lack of intent. Given that LLMs are not sentient, they lack intention. At most, they are reflexively responding to a reward function that optimizes towards producing text roughly resembling the pattern of their training data, but that's different from intent.

It's OK, Brian. It's not like we have any historic precedent for what happens to a dehumanized population in a country ruled by a corrupt authoritarian dictator whose government is intensively engaged in dragging them away into concentration camps while fighting illegal wars of conquest.

Sorry, best I can do is an excruciating and meandering 29-minute long YouTube video sponsored by Nord VPN.
