It has nothing to do with pundits trying to popularize anything or trying to justify LLMs&amp;#x27; shortcomings, it was just a label researchers gave to a phenomenon they were trying to study. A couple papers that use it in this way prior to LLMs: - 2021: The Curious Case of Hallucinations in Neural Machine Translation (https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.06683) - 2019: Identifying Fluently Inadequate Output in Neural and Statistical Machine Translation (https://aclanthology.org/W19-6623/)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2104.06683/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;. A mention is not an endorsement.&lt;/p&gt;</description><category>cs.CL</category></item></channel></rss>
