Let's invent a new term, then!
I propose:
- digimagination
- stochafubalation
- statillucination
- matmulshitting
Let's ask chatgpt free (coz I'm cheap) what it not-thinks about these, and ask for more statistically generated bullshit:

These are some creative and fun suggestions! Here's my take:
Digimagination: This one has a sleek, almost sci-fi ring to it. It captures the digital, machine-driven nature of language model "hallucination," but presents it in a positive, imaginative light. This could highlight the creative aspect of AI responses, even when they aren't grounded in fact.
Stochafubalation: Combining "stochastic" (random probability) with "confabulation" is clever. It emphasizes the statistical nature of language models making up facts, though it could be a bit of a mouthful.
Statillucination: I like how this merges "statistical" and "hallucination." It feels technical and would fit right into the AI research community's vocabulary.
Matmulshitting: This one is tongue-in-cheek and hilarious! It references matrix multiplication (which drives many neural network operations) with a humorous, blunt twist. Probably not for formal use, but great for informal contexts!
Here are a few more neologisms I can propose:
Probafabrication: A combination of "probability" and "fabrication," highlighting the statistical underpinnings of how LLMs generate falsehoods.
Algoillusion: A fusion of "algorithm" and "illusion," suggesting the misleading or illusionary nature of generated information.
Synthifalse: A contraction of "synthetic" and "false," pointing to AI-generated responses that are not grounded in reality.
Pseudoformulation: Emphasizing that the response is a pseudo (false) formulation rather than a real answer.
Modelucination: A blend of "model" and "hallucination," capturing the fact that the machine learning model is generating false or misleading data.
