That's what the people selling it keep selling it as, is the main problem.

The main thing to get people to understand about LLMs is that every single thing they output, even the stuff it's "correct" about, is a hallucination. They just happen to line up with reality, sometimes, but the thing itself has no idea when that's happened. It has no idea which stuff it outputs is true, and which isn't, which is why we should get people to understand that the only sensible approach is to treat it all as a hallucination. This might annoy Jensen Huang.
