I say it’s lying because it doesn’t simply offer up one incorrect answer, it’ll keep feeding more after the first error.
if it stopped at one, I’d call it an error. the fact that they keep pushing more incorrect garbage out after the first failure to me seems deliberate and malicious.
Look, living things lie. A rock doesn’t lie and doesn’t hallucinate. You say it’s stupid to say it hallucinated (which I agree with) but then you do the exact same behavior with lying just for opposite reasons. I get it, saying it lies makes it seem malicious and you hate it and all that. In the end though, it’s an inert tool, it’s an advanced auto complete. It isn’t conscious, it doesn’t lie, it doesn’t hallucinate.

it’s malicious that the vendors portray it as hallucination.
LLMs are not AI.
Calling it an inert tool at this point would be shortsighted, it is an advanced autocomplete, and I tend to roll dario/altman’s ‘excessively inaccurate portrayal’ of these failures as hallucination as a lie.

In any case, I was just trying to be clever.
