Regarding making language, I think the human mind hallucinates not unlike GPT. Humans say a lot of stuff because they feel vaguely it is true. So does an LLM when it talks about things it’s underfitted for.

Anyways, hallucination is a term in generative AI. It means that the model produces results inconsistent with their training data. Or that’s what people say, sometimes the training data is just not that good.

If you ask a real person to put together an essay on an obscure topic without extensive research, I bet 80% of the content is made up "hallucinations"

Well, that's hardly surprising. Asking random people to put together essays on obscure topics without extensive research is a great way to produce essays as useful as ChatGPT's output ;)
