that’s a lie. They knowingly made something up. The AI doesn’t know what it’s saying so it’s not lying. “Hallucinating” isn’t a perfect word but it’s much more accurate than “lying.”
If a human does not know an answer to a question, yet they make some shit up instead of saying “I don’t know”, what would you call that?

“Fabrications” seems ok to me

Bullshit.

This is what I’ve been calling it. Not as a pejorative term, just descriptive. It has no concept of truth or not-truth, it just tells good-sounding stories. It’s just bullshitting.

If you train a parrot to say “I can do calculus!” and then you ask it if it can do calculus, it’ll say “I can do calculus!”. It can’t actually do calculus, so would you say the parrot is lying?

No, but the parrot isn’t hallucinating either.
