By treating ChatGPT and similar LLMs as being in any way concerned with truth, or by speaking metaphorically as if they make mistakes or suffer “hallucinations” in pursuit of true claims, we risk exactly this acceptance of bullshit, and this squandering of meaning.
Such a good paper.

@tonyg@pubsub.leastfixedpoint.com yeah but I crack up every time a "serious business" commercial assures me their product is "hallucination free"
