EVEN WHEN THEY ARE WORKING RIGHT, "AI" systems are hallucinating. They hallucinate in line with reality most of the time, and sometimes they diverge. That's the whole thing. They're _useful_ but when they're _right_ that's either a function of guardrails and checks that've put in place, or an accident.
Usually it's an accident. Plan accordingly.

I really wish we'd used the term 'confabulate' instead because that's what's going on, mixing things together to make plausible stories and explanations. That mostly works, but doesn't change its fundamental nature of _making shit up_.
