Think of requiring a minimum amount of hallucination in AI output as a safety mechanism, like mixing the distinctive odor into a propane tank. The odor is a signal that there's a gas leak that must be dealt with. A high minimum amount of hallucinations is a signal that the source is untrustworthy and must be checked. Hallucinations may turn out to be a feature that protects against over reliance. And defers the need for a Butlerian jihad.
