LLMs hallucinate, because humans hallucinate.

Asking the LLM in a way where it annotates its sources, it can greatly increase the pattern matching to closely simulate logic, just like in humans.

I understand the question of why did you say this, not that, I have seen other ways of asking that which do not seem to trigger the LLMs over-response in the other direction.

Humans hallucinate because they take shrooms or have schizophrenia.

No, the hallucination of its reasons follows immediately from the technique of probabilistic inference. You can see this in real time, just ask 'why did you use this word, not that word?' It is in the position of a desperate liar. All its responses are essentially 'rationalizations'
