When an AI (eg; ChatGPT) begins speaking misinformation with 100% confidence that it is correct in what it is saying.
"Tried to get ChatGPT to write me some code earlier, it ended up hallucinating one of the main functions."

Get the hallucinate stan mug.You know, when I said 'Just make some shit up' I was, like, ironically poking fun at Jordan for doing exactly that- HOW MUCH OF THIS DID YOU USE!? Like... You trained is on this but this says 'if you don't know a thing just make some shit up' and now you don't understand why it's making shit up!? Did you even read this!? Like... I wasn't serious about just making shit up! Don't teach it that!
Hym "Please tell me the hallucinations are stemming from you training it on THIS and THIS ironically or sarcastically saying to 'just make shit up.' Did you... Did you read ANY of this!? Or did just dump everything in like garbage into a compactor?🤦 ♂️ God, are your serious? Please tell me that THAT is not happening. Like... Is THIS in the training data... And if you remove the part that says to 'just make shit up'... Does it fix the hallucinations? Like, do you know that the hallucinations are intrinsic to the large language model or did you train it to 'make shit up'when it doesn't know the answer? Because you're obviously not supposed to train it to do that part, fuck-face. Why would I actually want that? It would be way more helpful is I wasn't in this limbo where I both am and am not the creator of A.I. AND it would be great if I didn't have all this fluid IN MY FUCKING SKULL!"

Get the Hallucinations mug.The puzzle of why the brain, in the absence of external stimuli, activates perceptual systems with such vivid, detailed, and often meaningful content. A hallucination isn't just noise or static; it's a full-blown, internally-generated simulation that the brain categorizes as "real" perception. The hard problem is understanding why this happens in otherwise healthy brains (e.g., hypnagogic hallucinations, grief hallucinations) and what it reveals about how the brain constructs reality. It suggests perception is a controlled hallucination, and ordinary waking life is just one where internal predictions are tightly locked to sensory input.
Example: A perfectly healthy, grieving person sees their deceased spouse sitting in their favorite chair, in full detail, for a few seconds. This isn't psychosis; it's a common grief hallucination. The hard problem: How does the brain's visual and emotional circuitry coordinate to produce such a specific, emotionally resonant, and perceptually convincing image spontaneously? It demonstrates that our experienced reality is a fragile synthesis, and the brain can easily present its own internal narrative as external fact when the usual checks are loosened. Hard Problem of Hallucination.
