  “Lie” implies intent. Do you have evidence of intent?

    Maybe the technical term is “bullshit” because it returns something meant to appease the user regardless of truth value

    But “lie” is definitely a less inaccurate interpretation than “hallucinate,” because a “hallucination” implies the generation of something not there, despite the fact the data is equally present for things deemed non-hallucinations.

      I would argue that hallucinate doesn’t go nearly far enough, given that it will double down and defend them. I would call it delusions.
