> The point, though awkwardly stated, is that there is no difference between 'hallucination' output and any other output from these compressed databases,
But there is, except when you redefine "hallucination" so there isn't. And, when you retain the definition where there is a difference, you find there are techniques by which you can reduce hallucinations, which is important and useful. Changing the definition to eliminate the distinction is actively harmful to understanding and productive use of LLMs, for the benefit of making what superficially seems like an insightful comment.
Unless you are willing to use the same term when you botch an SQL query and don't get the result you want, don't use it at all.
