• Abstract: Hallucinations in large language models (LLMs) are always seen as limitations. However, could they also be a source of creativity? This survey explores this possibility, suggesting that hallucinations may contribute to LLM application by fostering creativity. This survey begins with a review of the taxonomy of hallucinations and their negative impact on LLM reliability in critical applications. Then, through historical examples and recent relevant theories, the survey explores the potential creative benefits of hallucinations in LLMs. To elucidate the value and evaluation criteria of this connection, we delve into the definitions and assessment methods of creativity. Following the framework of divergent and convergent thinking phases, the survey systematically reviews the literature on transforming and harnessing hallucinations for creativity in LLMs. Finally, the survey discusses future research directions, emphasizing the need to further explore and refine the application of hallucinations in creative processes within LLMs.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) produce outputs that deviate from users' intent, exhibit internal inconsistencies, or misalign with factual knowledge. Existing work mainly focuses on investing the hallucination in the domain of natural language generation. We conduct a thematic analysis of the LLM-generated code to summarize and categorize the hallucinations present in it. We propose HalluCode, a benchmark for evaluating the performance of code LLMs in recognizing hallucinations.

  hallucination poses great challenge to trustworthy and reliable deployment of large language models. Three key questions should be well studied: how to detect hallucinations (detection), why do LLMs hallucinate (source), and what can be done to mitigate them. This work presents a systematic empirical study on LLM hallucination, focused on the the three aspects of hallucination detection, source and mitigation.
