You’re Wrong About AI Hallucinations. They’re Not Bugs — They’re the Whole Point.
AI hallucinations aren’t bugs — they’re the system working exactly as designed. Large language models are probabilistic text generators that guess the next most plausible word. The real danger isn’t the lies they tell, but our willingness to believe them because they sound so confident. We must stop trying to fix hallucinations and instead build systems that treat all AI output as inherently unverified.
