Want to second this. Asking the model to create a work of fiction and it complying isn't a pathology. Mozart wasn't "hallucinating" when he created "The Marriage of Figaro".


But many artists are hallucinating when they envisioned some of their pieces. Who's to say Mozart wasn't on a trip when he created The Marriage of Figaro.



That would have to be a very very long hallucination because it’s a huge opera that took a long time to write.


We don't know Mozart's state of mind when he composed.

He didn't hallucinate the Marriage of Figaro but he may well have been hallucinating.
