    Oddly, “bullshit” qualifies as a technical term in this context. The authors argue that chatgpt (and similar systems) emit bullshit.

    They don’t lie or hallucinate because they don’t know or believe anything. It’s all just text modeling.

    The focus in this type of AI is to produce text that looks convincing, but it doesn’t have any concept of truth/falsehood, fact or fiction.

    When this is the way someone talks, we say that they’re bullshitting us. So it is with chatgpt.

      I’m so sick of people like you. “Oh, they may be right but they were a bit rude. So I’m going to pretend that they are wrong”. Go fuck yourself if you have nothing useful to contribute. This is just a tactic trolls use in the internet to distract people, and people keep falling for it.

      Plus if you actually read the article you would know that they are referencing an academic definition of bullshit. So go fuck yourself twice, you didn’t even bother to read before declaring your incredible moral superiority. You are just a clown.

      Your comment is a sign of limited vocabulary, because you pretty much used words that everyone uses.

      (See how your argument holds no water?)

        I wasn’t trying to be an academic edgelord.

        You have no valid point. You’re trying to discredit my point by pointlessly picking on my choice of words. I was discrediting the categorizing of the method used to make it.

      Not calling something bullshit when it’s bullshit is itself an example of bullshit.
