Why do tech journalists keep using the businesses' language about AI, such as "hallucination", instead of glitching/bugging/breaking?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucination_(artificial_intelligence)
The term "hallucinations" originally came from computer researchers working with image producing AI systems. I think you might be hallucinating yourself 😉
Fun part is, that article cites a paper mentioning misgivings with the terminology: AI Hallucinations: A Misnomer Worth Clarifying. So at the very least I'm not alone on this.
