AI Hallucination is a Feature, Not a Bug; Focus on Routing

The author argues that AI "hallucination" is not a bug but an inherent feature of LLMs, stemming from their probabilistic and generative nature. The focus should shift from reducing hallucination to implementing effective routing mechanisms that direct complex, ambiguous tasks to LLMs while assigning deterministic tasks to reliable APIs. Replacing deterministic tools with natural language descriptions processed by LLMs, as seen with SKILLS.MD potentially replacing MCP, introduces unnecessary entropy and failure modes that are architectural, not model-based. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for architectural design in AI systems to manage LLM capabilities effectively, rather than solely focusing on model improvements.

    AI Doesn't Hallucinate. Your Architecture Does.

    <p>Everyone is talking about hallucination. That's the wrong diagnosis.</p> <p>Hallucination isn't a bug. It's the mechanism. Turn the temperature down far enough and the model stops confabulating, but it also stops being useful. What people call hallucination is what LLMs do whe…
