a hallucination is seeing something that’s not there, which also fits.

Hallucinations requires perception. LLMs are just statistical models and do not have perceptions.
It was a cute name early on, now it is used to deflect when the output is just plain wrong.

In AI, a “hallucination” is just as much “there” as a non-"hallucination.” It’s a way for scientists to stomp their foot and say that the wrong output is the computer’s fault and not a natural consequence of how LLMs work.

I don’t think anyone is confusing radiation propagation with being alive though.
The issue is, these things “communicate” with us so granting it even more leeway to seem like it’s thinking (it’s not) is only further muddying how people perceive them

Nuclear energy companies aren’t trying to make people think that their reactors reproduce.
AI companies are trying to make people think that their software is intelligent.
The context matters.
