    hallucination refers to a specific bug (AI confidently BSing) rather than all bugs as a whole

      Honestly, it’s the most human you’ll ever see it act.

      It’s got upper management written all over it.

      (AI confidently BSing)

      Isn’t it more accurate to say it’s outputting incorrect information from a poorly processed prompt/query?

        No, because it’s not poorly processing anything. It’s not even really a bug. It’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do, spit out words in the “shape” of an appropriate response to whatever was just said

          When I wrote “processing”, I meant it in the sense of getting to that “shape” of an appropriate response you describe. If I’d meant this in a conscious sense I would have written, “poorly understood prompt/query”, for what it’s worth, but I see where you were coming from.
