"I like the term "bullshitting" as it implies it acts like it knows, but doesn't."
It's not "lying" or "bullshitting". It's working as designed. It's not a repository of truth; just long-form autofill.
- HybridCurve 3y agoIt's not being sold as long-form autofill. It's being sold as something which will respond to queries, and there is an expectation that the information it replies with should have some accuracy. I am not in disagreement with your generalization of how it functions or that it lacks empirical knowledge. Some responses are accurate, some are not. It will always give a response but does not always produce a disclaimer saying that the response might have been inaccurate. So, in criticism of the existing nomenclature used to describe this phenomena (hallucination), I simply suggested something more appropriate.
