Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

TBH I'm curious what the difference between this and "hallucinating" would be.

I think 'hallucinating' means when it makes up the source/idea by (effectively) word association that generates the concept, rather than here it's repeating a real source.

Couldn't that describe 95% of what LLMs?

It is a really good auto complete at the end of the day, just some times the auto complete gets it wrong

Yes, nicely put! I suppose 'hallucinating' is a description of when, to the reader, it appears to state a fact but that fact doesn't at all represent any fact from the training data.
