That is just utter bullshit. Hallucinations are a by-product of how LLMs work under the hood, not an intentional design choice. An AI that doesn't make mistakes would be orders of magnitude more profitable.

    The prevalence of hallucination in LLMs is a design choice. It is a result of raising the 'temperature' which is just fancy speak for randomization so it doesn't spit out the same text for the same question over and over to make it look like it has nuance and whatever.

    If it was consistent they would be able to reduce incorrect results, but they want it to look like a human response.

    Can you provide sources to “they want it to look like a human response?”

    I have not read about that before.
