It woule be really helpful for old retired psychotherapists like myself. for you to be far more congruent when using the term hallucination when referring to LLM's.

An AI hallucination is essentially the model making stuff up. It outputs text that sounds plausible and confident but isn't based on truth or reliable data.

LLM hallucinations are the events in which ML models, particularly large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3 or GPT-4, produce outputs that are coherent and grammatically correct but factually incorrect or nonsensical.

machines do not and cannot hallucinate, thats called: Anthropomorphism.
