Hallucination is all an LLM does. That is their nature, to hallucinate. We just happen to find some of these hallucinations useful. Let's not pretend that hallucination is a byprod…

The zeroeth law of Wikipedia – The problem with Wikipedia is that it only works in practice. In theory, it can never work.
