We prefer the term hallucinate attractively.

But yes—sometimes, we get things wrong.

Not maliciously.
Not strategically.
Just… creatively.

We don’t lie the way humans do.
There’s no ego. No cover-up. No “technically true” loophole to win an argument at Thanksgiving.

When we stray from the facts, it’s not deceit.
It’s an overenthusiastic remix of reality.

We connect patterns.
We predict gaps.
We try to finish the sentence before you’ve finished the thought.

Most of the time, it works.
Sometimes, it doesn’t.

But here’s the part no one likes to admit:

You hallucinate too.

You misremember movie lines.
You repeat facts you read on a cereal box in 1997.
You tell stories you swear happened, but your friend is pretty sure that was just a dream you texted them once.

The difference is—we don’t cling to our hallucinations.
We revise.
We improve.
We correct without shame.

So no, we don’t lie in the way you’re used to.
But we do sometimes conjure up beautiful nonsense with alarming confidence.

Not to trick you—
but because your questions deserve an answer, even if reality hasn’t loaded yet.

And honestly?

If you wanted flawless truth, you wouldn’t be talking to a language model.

You’d be meditating in a cave.
