    The term “hallucination” has been used for years in AI/ML academia. I reading about AI hallucinations ten years ago when I was in college. The term was originally coined by researchers and mathematicians, not the snake oil salesman pushing AI today.

      I had no idea about this. I studied neural networks briefly over 10 years ago, but hadn’t heard the term until the last year or two.
