It's more the hallucinations are due to the fact we have trained them to be unable to admit to failure or incompetence.

Humans have the exact same "hallucinations" if you give them a job then tell them they aren't allowed to admit to not knowing something ever for any reason.

You end up only with people willing to lie, bullshit and sound incredibly confident.

We literally reinvented the politician with LLMs.

None of the big models are trained to be actually accurate, only to give results no matter what.
