#LLMs don't hallucinate. LLMs NEVER hallucinate. LLMs CANNOT hallucinate. LLMs don't have the cognitive ability to hallucinate. Any more than they have the cognitive ability to tell the truth, or to understand what truth is or why it matters.
These are things LLMs can NEVER do.
Anyone who tells you different is either a fantasist or a malign actor.

@… - The Russians cannot be trusted. At best the Russians will buy time, and then have another go.
When will European governments call a spade a spade and really push to disconnect from Russian oil and gas? If that means buying it from the US interim so be it. But then really push hard for energy and military security.
Russia is NOT going away. Nor is its hatred of Europe which is why the've been waging war on us in myriad ways for the last 20 years.
