AI always does exactly what you ask; "hallucinations" are an illusion to offload responsibility—agents fill data gaps you failed to consider, and your slop output is the compounding of those unfilled blanks. He quips that frontier labs' AGI is just "the ability to fill your blanks with the LCD that passes your bar."
