I'd say so, but don't quote me on this. I'm just a badly educated skeptic on this topic :)

Actually, I wouldn't call it "mislabeled". I loved this term when I first read it. But we are now in the "coining terminology" phase — and there seems to be a much better fitting term, "confabulation". I wonder which word is used by Danish psychiatrists.

As a side note on not the best terminology — I've read that calling bad code "technical debt" doesn't convey all seriousness of the situation. In business terms debt is not just unavoidable, but is often desirable (especially when debt is manageable, cheap). (Ultra-rich in the US use personal debt as tax avoidance scheme). Yet saying "unhedged risk" suddenly makes finance people start listening — essentially, you don't know when and how bad it is going to backfire.

@EvilCartyen @farsinuce i agree with the main message, just commenting on the terminology. Some people (https://www.integrative-psych.org/resources/confabulation-not-hallucination-ai-errors) say that instead of "hallucination" (making stuff up unrelated to external stimuli) a better word would be "confabulation" (making stuff up on a certain topic). All that current "AIs" can do is take a task and produce a string of symbols that appears related to the question.

@CiaraNi @dzm @EvilCartyen it seems that you are comfortable with Mastodon approach :)
For me it's too ephemeral, as posts, replies, and boosts take pretty much same appearance and just wash away things that i might want to revisit later. The forum format really speaks to me.
Yet this niche that I've carved here on Masto feels very nice, letting me observe fun and nice people. Feddit (Aarhus community) is emptier for now.

Maybe all we need here is not to make people remember details of different software systems (software should be boring and easy), but a bot that would let us translate things like Ciara's nice postcards into suitable posts on feddit.

@CiaraNi @EvilCartyen English is allowed in the rules, as pointed out by Carsten. This would be kind of dealbreaker for me, as it's still difficult for me to read in Danish. Writing would be somewhere between embarrassing and illegible. Having a mix of languages helps me slowly increase my Danish intake. I think I'm not the only one in such situation ("there are literally dozens of us!")
I wouldn't want to flood with English posts, though.
Also, rules say that federation is enabled — so it's expected and accepted.
As to what and how to crosspost — probably we'll see some clarifications in community rules ans etiquette. Something like "I just ate a sandwich in # Aarhus" isn't worth a community post. A nice "postcard from Aarhus" is, i'd argue.
Thing like "please add first line as title, the rest will be body when tooting from Masto" are tiny details that can be figured out.
Sorry if my enthusiasm about crossposting caused you to get confused or upset.

@EvilCartyen @aarhus @CiaraNi right, yes, i think that's it! It seems that replies are ignored in order not to spam Lemmy with posts.

@EvilCartyen @dzm @CiaraNi you are right. Mastodon clients hide the server name by default, so it looks a bit confusing in the beginning.

@EvilCartyen yes, @CiaraNi's photos (and an accidental swan coming out from H.C.A's tale to check up on descendants) will definitely embellish the place.

Ciara, could you try tagging not just the #Aarhus hashtag, but also the feddit community by mentioning @aarhus?

@EvilCartyen @dzm learn something new every day.
Well, maybe we can use this fact to liven up the community a bit.
