Let’s discuss: Would you call an AI hallucination a hypothesis? We dismiss hallucinations as errors. But history is filled with ideas that initially looked wrong, absurd, or impossible. If an AI generates a novel claim unsupported by its training data, is it merely failing or is it doing something closer to what humans call speculation? At what point does a hallucination become a hypothesis worth investigating? Or are we giving machines far too much credit? I'm curious where you draw the line.

Claude, by far. ChatGPT doesn't perform well anymore, hallucinates a lot.
