I think 'hallucinating' means when it makes up the source/idea by (effectively) word association that generates the concept, rather than here it's repeating a real source.

Couldn't that describe 95% of what LLMs?

It is a really good auto complete at the end of the day, just some times the auto complete gets it wrong

Yes, nicely put! I suppose 'hallucinating' is a description of when, to the reader, it appears to state a fact but that fact doesn't at all represent any fact from the training data.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
