On the one hand, that’s a cool insight and I can get behind it. It’s kind of similar to deaf people talking “weird”. On the other hand, I don’t think it has anything to do with LLMs. There, hallucination is just a cool word for “it’s trained to say things that sound like they fit the context, not to be correct”

Is that not the same thing? If hallucinations are basically unrestricted activity, and “hallucinations” in LLM are the result of insufficient restrictions in training or prompts, then are they not real hallucinations?

Thing is, our brains could work the exact same way…. Only they’re constantly being trained, and have enough neurons that many clusters can be dedicated to very specific contexts.

Today is _____

Well, given the context that my phone says 1:20, and it’s dark, when I fell asleep it was Tuesday, and that Wednesday comes after Tuesday…. Plus all the necessary training that allowed me to understand all that context 24/hours in a day; days start at 12:00, 1 comes after 12 but only in our time of day system.
