AI Hallucinations: A Misnomer Worth Clarifying
Open accessAbstract
As large language models continue to advance in Artificial Intelligence (AI), text generation systems have been shown to suffer from a problematic phenomenon often termed as "hallucination." However, with AI’s increasing presence across various domains, including medicine, concerns have arisen regarding the use of the term itself. In this study, we conducted a systematic review to identify papers defining "AI hallucination" across fourteen databases. We present and analyze definitions obtained from all databases, categorize them based on their applications, and extract key points within each category. Our results highlight a lack of consistency in how the term is used, but also help identify several alternative terms in the literature. We discuss the implications of these findings and call for a more unified effort to bring consistency to this important contemporary AI issue, which can significantly affect multiple domains.

“Ji et al. [10], from the computer science perspective (in ACM Computing Surveys), rationalized the use of the term "hallucination" as "an unreal perception that feels real" by drawing from Blom’s definition — "a percept, experienced by a waking individual, in the absence of an appropriate stimulus…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
