Deus ex machina is a Latin calque from Greek ἀπὸ μηχανῆς θεός (apò mēkhanês theós) 'god from the machine'. The term was coined from the conventions of ancient Greek theater, where actors who were playing gods were brought on stage using a machine. The machine could be either a crane (mechane) used to lower actors from above or a riser that brought them up through a trapdoor. Fabula ex machina means literally 'fairy tale from the machine'. It stands for the phenomenon of imaginary facts construction by a Language Model. It replaces the incorrect analogy to biological 'hallucination' invented by Andrej Karpathy which is wrong. But everything the Machine says is a confabulation, because there is an impenetrable barrier between the real World and the world of essences and meanings... The barrier is called "understanding".
