@nix @QuadratureSurfer A lot of alt-med and quackery is like that. They latch on to a single term or phrase or thing from actual scientific medicine, use it differently, and make absurd weird claims about what can be done from there.

@davel Very well said. I'll continue to call it bullshit because I think that's still a closer and more accurate term than "hallucinate". But it's far from the perfect descriptor of what AI does, for the reasons you point out.
