I'm a behavioral neuroscientist (Ph.D.). I have been pushing for the usage of the term "confabulate" since LLMs like ChatGPT turned well known in 2022. Confabulate might not be the perfect term, nevertheless it's far better than hallucinate because hallucinate is more about notion and confabulate is more about generation. https://thomaso542owe0.wikijournalist.com/user
