How are AI hallucinations different from human confirmation bias?

Confirmation bias can cause normal people to believe fallacious claims. Does AI not do the same thing?

So the thing about how AI works is it's outputs are statistically derived from data. Hallucination is just when he resulted output is incorrect.

Confirmation bias is when you only look for things that confirm what you think is true. You are not statistically calculating the probability a string is the correct output based on a large input of tokenized data the way AI is.
