Yes, the opacity of an AI's internal logic is closely connected to hallucinations in LLMs.
Since the internal reasoning behind an LLM's output is often hidden or too complex for humans to fully trace, the model can confidently generate responses that seem reasonable but are actually fabricated, misleading, or just plain wrong—these are called hallucinations. The inability to fully audit or interpret how the model formulates an answer makes it tough to spot or prevent hallucinations before they happen, and research even suggests that certain internal states of LLMs may signal when they're about to hallucinate, but actually decoding those signals is still a challenge for researchers.
