    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.

        We were talking about when it was coined, not when you heard it first
