Humans are vastly more efficient, at assuming.
And yet, we humans are harsh critics of AI hallucinations, even though the machine hallucinations pale in comparison to the quantity and quality of human hallucinations. Of course, we don't label human hallucinations as such. Rather we use words like assumptions, extrapolations, inference, confidence, and bravado. It's a good thing we don't use the same standards for hallucinations for our human friends because we likely would have no friends.
If a person I call friend is acting a bit too assumptive with excessive confidence and/or bravado, I’d probably remind my friend of how delusional they’re acting. Fitting enough word to describe a hallucinatory mind, with the ability to both educate and offend depending on reception.
