As much as many of us would have preferred different terminology (confabulation, for example, is far more accurate), the fact is that “hallucination” is what the language has settled on.

This is so weird. I wonder if it's even a confabulation or if he just doesn't know. He's always been only barely literate and Incapable of doing relatively easy math, maybe he means he's in the 54th percentile.

Confabulation, along with being delusional.

They want no limitations real or perceived on them. At age 4 this would be diagnosed as oppositional defiance disorder. Now it's ... narcissistic? paranoid confabulation? grandiose persecution complex?

(My "will amuse only me (±1)" joke aside, this is a fantastic example of a confabulation error. And no, Jesse: despite knowing that term from computing, I've *never* heard it used as a metaphor for ADHD.)

If one of your use cases of google is searching to see if something exists, AI's answer is always "yes."
Is this really a frequently used metaphor? Who knows? I've never heard it before today. One of the sources is an irrelevant page about adhd kids' math struggles, the other is an hour long video.

I doubt his dementia-addled narcissistic brain can any longer tell those are made up stories.

Several papers by AI researchers use “confabulation” instead of “hallucination”, which has the added benefit of being more fun to say.

Of course, Putin knows where the line of contact is.
Each Russian mistruth, obfuscation, and confabulation is a ruse.

Fight those lying Russian bastards with brains and bullets, not words and naivete.

I have messed with the devil llm magic enough to let you know that you absolutely do not want it in places where you should favor having a human who can make tough and sane calls that aren't based on complete utter fabrications and confabulation and self-obsessive looping faulty machine reasoning.

This sort of dementia-related confabulation isn't new. Trump read about a government-funded "transgenic mice" study and he publicly condemned spending taxpayer money to make "mice transgender."

"Confabulation" is just not as well known a word. The colloquial version of delusion was used a lot more in writing and that's the one that stuck for meaning "detached from reality". >_<

A great confabulation of OSS folks at OpenFest.org in Sofia this weekend, and some great questions around web capabilities.

Trump's brain is being withering down to just ego.
His confabulation, impulsiveness, and weird transgender fixation is pathological. Any word containing a "trans" prefix is hallucinated into transgender, prompting public convulsions of projection.
It's both pathetic and gross.
