I do hallucinate a better future as well.
In other fields, when models are wrong, the discussion is around 'errors'. How large the errors are, their structural nature, possible bounds, and so forth. But when it's AI it's a 'hallucination'. Almost as if the thing is feeling a bit poorly and just needs to rest and take some fever-reducer before being correct again.
It bothers me. Probably more than it should, but it does.
