Humans are also “pattern recognition engines”. That’s why optical illusions and similar completely mess with our brains. There are patterns that we perceive as moving/rotating even though the pattern is completely stationary.
But nobody would claim that you can’t trust your eyes in general just because optical illusions exist.

We can tell optical illusions are fake specifically because we aren’t just pattern recognition engines.
LLMs “hallucinate” because they can’t do that. To them, the optical illusion is reality.
That’s the difference between intelligence and knowledgeability, instead of merely containing knowledge.
