If you think LLMs hallucinate too much, wait till you check out code literally written during hallucinations.
I posted this in another comment, but during uni I did in fact write code in lucid dreams. A friend can vouch for a specific time when I woke up from sleep during an all nighter, to fix a very specific bug (which I just remembered, we didn't even know it existed), then went back to sleep. On another occasion, I designed a recursive path-finding algorithm to replace djikstra's algorithm, all in my sleep.
It definitely can be done (though I doubt it could be done consistently and without actually imagining shit up), but it really shouldn't be done, I really doubt I was really resting while doing that.
I was sitting here thinking how useful a loop to count bananas before running out of time and losing my shoes and or pants before realizing I'm in a large college auditorium and everyone is laughing at me would be!
Cash-drawer?
