"I can suggest an equation that has been a while to get the money to buy a new one for you to be a part of the wave of the day I will be there for you"

There, my phone keyboard "hallucinated" this by suggesting the next word.

I understand that anthropomorphising is fun, but it gives the statistical engines more hype than they deserve.

Your phone keyboard statistical engine is not a very insightful comparison to the neural networks that power LLMs. They're not the same technology at all and just share the barest minimum superficial similarities.

Ah "neural networks" with no neurons?

I'm not comparing technologies, I'm saying those are not "hallucinations", the engines don't "think" and they don't "get something wrong".

The output is dependent on the input, statistically calculated and presented to the user.

A parrot is, in the most literal of ways, smarter than the "Artificial intelligence" sentence generators we have now.
