About 2 years ago I was using Whisper AI locally to translate some videos, and "hallucinations" is definitely the right phrase for some of its output! So just like you might expect from a stereotypical schizo: it would stay on-task for a while, but then start ranting about random things, or "hearing things", etc.

A hallucination is something that is experienced internally. Confabulation is better because it's the act of telling a porkie externally.
