A common objection is that AI hallucinate - that it generates false information, misinterprets context, or confidently asserts fabrications. But what if this isn't really about AI at all, what if it is a reflection of who we are. If anything, what if they are our beautiful flaws that makes us deeply human.

Also as Daniel Kahneman talks about in Type 1 thinking - ultimately cognitive biases shows that human thought itself is riddled with errors, misremembering, and distortions -- so if we train on that data, how would we not get the same type of behavior? 

What if instead of hallucinations, we call them happy accidents? (like Bob Ross)

I have had this thought! I think it’s likely the case that it’s a reflection of humanity on the internet, which is full of tons of conflicting and confused information. 

Also agree that I think it gives us a glimpse of that confused state of humanity, making it potentially a beneficial element to know. 

That said, hallucinating over, eg, medicinal facts or objective science can be dangerous so it is no longer a positive element at that point
