That said: please don't repeat the "hallucinate" label. It's self
-aggrandisement. Its deliberate, to foster belief "it's like thinking"
It's not a hallucination, it's bad model data and bad constraint
programming. They're not thinking, or dreaming, or demanding not to be
turned off, or threatening or bullying: They're not Markov chains either
but they're a damn sight closer to a machine than a mind.
