Can we stop calling these confabulated artifacts, "Hallucinations"? Hallucinating is perceiving things that are not there, imagining and creating things that feel believable but are not there is confabulation. LLMs are imagination machines. They are Generative Artificial Intelligence not perception models.

The comment you wrote was on a device which should not be called a “phone” either. The word hallucinate is probably just going to grow to mean “anything an AI imagined.”
