This idea that humans are so structured in their thinking is ridiculous.
- eschaton 1y agoIt’s a whole lot less ridiculous—especially when discussed in a context where there’s an assumption that analysis is taking place—than attributing any sort of “thought” to LLMs at all.

We even have a very apt term for writing and speaking like that: “Bullshitting.”
