I'd agree with other posters - I'm seeing less hallucination; probably the model-makers are tuning to reduce that, because people make a big deal about it.
I see it as a small deal - it reminds us to check the responses against references.
LLMs are a statistical construction, and everyone accepts without complaint that statistical models have a predicted false-positive and false-negative rate.
I think of "hallucination" as a false positive; false negative is no answer when the model could have made a useful response.
I think there's some relation between our creativity and the LLM capability we dismissively call hallucination.
It's not so much that AI hallucinates, but the fact that we know it does, and it's being used to make independent decisions to use lethal force against a human on the battlefield today.
At least that is my understanding of one of the ways that Ukraine is asymmetrically winning against a foe in Russia with more resources, at least at the start.
It's how we are using it knowing this limitation it has and the decisions being made about when and where it's being used in this capacity are mostly unknown.
