There is an interesting phenomenon with polynomial interpolation called Runge Spikes. I think "Runge Spikes" offers a better metaphor than "hallucination" and argue the point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43612517

if it catches on, everyone will start applying it on humans. "he's got runge spikes". you can't win against antropomorphization

That's just overfitting. Using too flexible a model without regularization.

That is interesting indeed, thanks!
