Thinking about genAI vs human intelligence.

genAI hallucinates, unavoidably.

Humans make mistakes, unavoidably.

Mistakes aren't hallucinations. They are a step in a truth-finding process. They help the human who makes the mistake (and their fellow humans) to improve their criteria for true or false.

Hallucinations, when detected, are a trigger for the model to produce answers whose lack of validated truth is less detectable.

Relevant clumsiness vs sophisticated emptyness.
