YES!
And not only does the BS often need expertise to detect, but the tech cheerleaders are claiming that not only is this high-volume automated BS machine useful, but that it is somehow nearly an actual near-generalized AI.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The generative models make sometimes-useful BS, and are sometimes surprising in the similarity of the output to human output (sure, human bullshitters often look good too, so what?), but there isn't even the slightest ability to understand any concept. The thing can't even get right puzzles that children laugh at. These things have no concept of truth vs fiction or ethics vs evil.
Yet the "tech elite" try to feed us the BS us that it is nearly the singularity. What we have is a very amusing parlor game toy.
What we need, whether for the world's sanity and/or to get close to AGI, is not an automated high-volume BS generator.
What we need is an automated high volume BS detector.
Then, you'll have something worth praising.
