> hallucinations aren’t a bug of LLMs, they are a feature. Indeed they are the feature. All an LLM does is produce hallucinations, it’s just that we find some of them useful.

I've prefered to riff off of the other quote:

"All (large language) model outputs are hallucinations, but some are useful."
