I agree.
"Hallucination" is a great marketing term to make people want to trust a machine, but it's a pretty poor choice of words to convey any understanding of what the machine does or how it does it

@RnDanger@infosec.exchange @elfburgerman@mastodon.social @gotofritz@hachyderm.io @AccordionBruce@mastodon.social @grammargirl@zirk.us Exactly. Making machines seem like magic, seem like they have no internal mechanism, is a common tactic. It's why we refer to external hard drives that we don't own or control as "the cloud."
