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.

  1. Are Reasoning Models More Prone to Hallucination?

    cs.CL 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Post-training pipeline choice (SFT+RL vs RL-only vs SFT-only) reliably shifts hallucination rates in large reasoning models on fact-seeking benchmarks.

  2. MIH-TCCT: Mitigating Inconsistent Hallucinations in LLMs via Event-Driven Text-Code Cyclic Training

    cs.AI 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    MIH-TCCT reduces inconsistent hallucinations by cyclically training LLMs to translate event-based text into structured code and back, without task-specific fine-tuning.

  3. Conservative Bias in Large Language Models: Measuring Relation Predictions

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    LLMs often choose NO_RELATION in closed-option relation extraction even when their reasoning names a better relation, causing silent information loss.

  4. Loki's Dance of Illusions: A Comprehensive Survey of Hallucination in Large Language Models

    cs.CL 2025-06 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    A survey of LLM hallucination research that formalizes hallucination types and argues, via incompleteness and undecidability arguments, that hallucinations cannot be fully eliminated.
