Appreciate the reply! It’s a cool way to view it in individual terms. I was thinking in more social terms, however, which I’ve been a little fascinated to find seems to be a little atypical from the replies so far.
I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.
I’m generally curious and/or trying to get a sense of people’s views.

This does seem to come closer to what I was wondering about when I originally posted, good eye!
OP asks the real life equivalent of being AFK which, assuming you’re normally regularly online, only really corresponds to being high or sleeping.
The funny thing is, it didn’t occur to me how vague my question was until after I posted and started seeing the replies. That’s made it more fun tbh, and interesting as in this context (online vs. in real life) I’ve not really thought of being online in such individualistic terms as this and some other replies suggest.
Does it sometimes seem like commenting in high traffic online spaces feels this way too, not just Reddit?
While Lemmy doesn’t have enough people for each product category yet, have you checked out the community !buyitforlife@slrpnk.net?
There’s also !recommendations@lemmy.world for broader discussion, but it’s not gained much traction yet.
Fun part is, that article cites a paper mentioning misgivings with the terminology: AI Hallucinations: A Misnomer Worth Clarifying. So at the very least I’m not alone on this.
Yeah, on further thought and as I mention in other replies, my thoughts on this are shifting toward the real bug of this being how it’s marketed in many cases (as a digital assistant/research aid) and in turn used, or attempted to be used (as it’s marketed).
perception
This is the problem I take with this, there’s no perception in this software. It’s faulty, misapplied software when one tries to employ it for generating reliable, factual summaries and responses.
It’s not a bad article, honestly, I’m just tired of journalists and academics echoing the language of businesses and their marketing. “Hallucinations” aren’t accurate for this form of AI. These are sophisticated generative text tools, and in my opinion lack any qualities that justify all this fluff terminology personifying them.
Also frankly, I think students have one of the better applications for large-language model AIs than many adults, even those trying to deploy them. Students are using them to do their homework, to generate their papers, exactly one of the basic points of them. Too many adults are acting like these tools should be used in their present form as research aids, but the entire generative basis of them undermines their reliability for this. It’s trying to use the wrong tool for the job.
You don’t want any of the generative capacities of a large-language model AI for research help, you’d instead want whatever text-processing it may be able to do to assemble and provide accurate output.
While largely true, I was also thinking of filtering/sorting systems within specific sites (e.g. stores/archives/etc.) as well, which may result in similar junk results but fewer than with a search engine.
When I wrote “processing”, I meant it in the sense of getting to that “shape” of an appropriate response you describe. If I’d meant this in a conscious sense I would have written, “poorly understood prompt/query”, for what it’s worth, but I see where you were coming from.
(AI confidently BSing)
Isn’t it more accurate to say it’s outputting incorrect information from a poorly processed prompt/query?
Is living room a new name for worship space?
Why do tech journalists keep using the businesses’ language about AI, such as “hallucination”, instead of glitching/bugging/breaking?
What is the ontology of a concept or idea? If nothing doesn’t exist materially but strictly conceptually, does it not exist or is there a different term one should employ to refer to it? 🤔
Have you seen Publii yet? Dunno how well it works on Linux, but there’s a version for Linux as well.
Fairly certain, as I hadn’t downloaded anything on my phone when away from my PC that would have produced a notification to mirror. Also, sorry, I should have mentioned from the start that I typically run my phone in Do Not Disturb and Silent to minimize any notifications whatsoever.
On further digging I did notice that it looks as though the files mentioned in the notifications may have been downloads, but from literally years ago in, I think, every case (e.g. from 2018!). I don’t think I even had Connect installed back then to have caught those notifications. 🤨
Is this ever noted in any of the documentation, outside of some fine print, with the printer to let someone know that it’s being done? If your product is secretly leaving indicators for anyone aware of the indicators to track your actions in some way, that’s problematic in my opinion.
Given a printer is arguably a lesser issue anymore, but the same idea applies with other tech.
Would this require feeding it batteries like a triggerhappy machine gunner?
Huh, so literally raw html? I know it’s not too difficult, but I have wondered occasionally how many small websites may have been written that way.
