Calling it a hallucination leads people to think that they just need to stop it from hallucinating.

In layman's terms, it'd be better to understand that LLMs are schizophrenic. Even though that's not really accurate either.

A better way to get across that the models really only understand reality by the way they've read about it and then we ask them for answers "in their own words" but that's a lot longer than "hallucination".

It's like the gag in the 40 year old version where he describes breasts feeling like bags of sand.
