Fuck AI

Indeed: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/judgment-and-decision-making/article/on-the-reception-and-detection-of-pseudoprofound-bullshit/0D3C87BCC238BCA38BC55E395BDC9999

Thus, bullshit, in contrast to mere nonsense, is something that implies but does not contain adequate meaning or truth.

We argue that an important adjutant of pseudo-profound bullshit is vagueness which, combined with a generally charitable attitude toward ambiguity, may be exacerbated by the nature of recent media.

The concern for “profundity” reveals an important defining characteristic of bullshit (in general): that it attempts to impress rather than to inform; to be engaging rather than instructive.

I think even bullshitting isn't a good term for it because to me it implies intent.

It's just a text predictor that can predict text well enough to be conversational and trick people interacting with it enough to pass the Turing test (which IMO was never really a good test of intelligence, though maybe shines a spotlight on how poorly "intelligence" is defined in that context, because despite not being a good test, it might still be one of the best I've heard of).

All of its "knowledge" is in the form of probabilities that various words go together, given what words preceded them. It has no sense of true, false, or paradox.

Misinformation farms ADORE it
