It's possible LLMs are lying but my guess is that they really just can't tell the difference.
- hatefulmoron 1y agoThey're using the term 'bullshit' as it is understood as a term of art, which doesn't imply lying. It's closer to creating a response without any regard for telling the truth. Bullshitting is often most effective when you happen to be telling the truth, although the bullshitter has no commitment to that.
