It's not a hallucination. When a parrot speaks it isn't sentient. LLM's are essentially doing parrot math with much larger data sets, that is it. The fact that it sufficiently mimics what you're expecting is not a testament to its intellect.

Parrots are certainly sentient. You could maybe say parrots aren't sapient, but frankly I think we don't know enough about sapience or what it takes to make human-level intelligence to make that claim either.
