Ah "neural networks" with no neurons?

I'm not comparing technologies, I'm saying those are not "hallucinations", the engines don't "think" and they don't "get something wrong".

The output is dependent on the input, statistically calculated and presented to the user.

A parrot is, in the most literal of ways, smarter than the "Artificial intelligence" sentence generators we have now.

Why are you being downvoted? What you say is correct. It’s almost like a calculator. Garbage in = garbage out.

because they are being wilfully obtuse suggesting that "neural network" a term going back over half a century for a computatuonal method doesnt apply to things without biological neurons, and doing the same thing applying an overly narrow deffinition of halucination when it has a clear meaning in this context of stating textually probable but incorrect statements.
