A few other reasons to avoid the term "hallucinate" in the context of LLMs:
—It anthropomorphizes genAI, which is a harmful reflex.
—It's a popular industry term for a reason. It perpetuates and strengthens the way genAI companies want us to perceive the technology.
—Maybe most saliently: GenAI does nothing *but* hallucinate. Using the word to describe only some outputs implies erroneously that it's not hallucinating *all the time*.
