📖What it means
A model stating something as fact that it has no basis for. It is the specific risk grounding exists to remove, and the reason Carol's duty is to say she does not know rather than produce something plausible.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Error
An error is something going wrong visibly; a hallucination looks entirely right.
Not: Grounding
Hallucination is the failure; grounding is the cure.
