Outdated code or instructions is not 'nonsensical' just wrong.
This is the first time I've seen the objective definition. I was told,
paraphrasing here, 'AI will hallucinate - if it doesn't know the answer
it will make something up and profess that it is true.'
If you ask me a question and I give you an incorrect answer, but I
believe that it is true, am I hallucinating? Or am I mistaken? Or is
my information outdated?
You see what I mean? Lots of words, but hard to nail it down. :-)
