Sometimes the truth is more complicated than your binary characterization. Most of the time, probably.

- agentultra 3y agoComplicated is fine, but knowable. You can accept the truth or deceive others but regardless of your intentions you can recognize the truth exists. While I'm aware of the criticisms of Frankfurt's definition of bullshit [0], I think a useful part of it is the idea that there are folks who don't even care what the truth is. This seems to be the intended purpose of generative AI; ie: hallucinations exist by design and cannot be removed without recognizing that the approach needs to change. I think that's what gets people like the author to write criticisms like this. We detest bullshit in a number of critical areas such as information retrieval and search.
