For starters, there seem to be pretty compelling arguments against the carpentry idea, in particular. For example, the illusion doesn't require the straight lines so characteristic of carpentry. You can get the same effect with curved lines, dots, or even faces. (5/13)

Can dreams help us see memory consolidation as it unfolds in the sleeping brain?
In this new paper, we describe how dreams reactivate multiple memories simultaneously, combining fragments of recent and remote memory in a way that may be adaptive.

Hallucination is totally the wrong word, implying it is perceiving the world incorrectly.
But it's generating false, plausible sounding statements. Confabulation is literally the perfect word.
So, let's all please start referring to any junk that an LLM makes up as "confabulations".
