      I think they’re referring to the description of AI as “hallucinating” its products, but yeah, pretty bad description that further marginalizes an already pretty shat-on group. Was looking for something to say, but you beat me to it.

        I genuinely hate the description of AI fucking up as ‘hallucinating’. AI doesn’t need more humanized than it already is. Just call it what it is; AI being wrong. Confidently, unfixable wrong. ‘AI hallucination’ was a term that was invented in the early 2000’s, by the techbros of two decades ago. And it sucks as a term.

        I feel like the internet loves to shit on people with psychotic disorders, and its generally accepted, even among otherwise pretty progressive circles.

          I agree wholeheartedly. Another fave is calling people one disagrees with “psychotic.” But yeah, it is important not to be ableist while criticizing things.
