>Donald Trump or Boris Johnson >Timnit Gebru How strange that the former two are cited as examples of bullshitters, but the latter not. That Twitter and politics is cited as a hotbed of untethered debate, but not academia. Even though the work and claims of "AI Ethicists" pretty much amounts to idea-laundered cultural marxism... and that this problem also exists in the wider social sciences, where certain hypotheses are dismissed regardless of evidence, because of the perceived moral implications. I have no doubt that much of the output of a transformer is bullshit. The same way I have no doubt that much of what passes for scholarship these days is. Garbage in, garbage out. Main difference seems to be that ChatGPT will apologize and correct itself when you point out it's wrong.
