> it means something that is produced while disregarding the truth.
The Cambridge Dictionary says it has two definitions[1]:
1. a rude word for complete nonsense or something that is not true
2. a rude word meaning to try to persuade someone or make them admire you by saying things that are not true
I don't think thise align with your definition and your idea that AIs always produce bullshit. They don't always produce nonsense or something that isn't true, and they don't intentionally use untrue statements to try and persuade someone or gain admiration.

- ivanbakel 3y agoThe definition of bullshit used here is not the dictionary one. It more closely follows the definition from On Bullshit[0] (also cited in TFA), as content which is truth-irrelevant. Under the above definition, AIs do always produce bullshit, because their content is always truth-irrelevant. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit
