Guessing.

When we give information we don't know to be true -which is what the model does when it builds low confidence tokens on each other- we call it guessing. Why would this be any different?




Guessing has a very mild implication of thought or estimation from a model of understanding of the subject in question.

Hallucination, on the other hand, is evocative of a less reasonable/rational source.


That would actually be an educated guess or a guesstimate. A guess is as good as any.


Maybe strictly definitionally, but comparing the connotations of the two, I assume people don't actually truly randomly guess.


Isn't that anthropomorphic too? It's humans doing guessing, not objects.
