OP clearly expects LLMs to exhibit mind-like behaviors. Lying absolutely implies agency, but even if you don’t agree, OP is confused that

It did not simply analyze the best type of graphics card for the situation

The whole point of the post is that OP is upset that LLMs are generating falsehoods and parroting input back into its output. No one with a basic understanding of LLMs would be surprised by this. If someone said their phone’s autocorrect was “lying”, you’d be correct in assuming they didn’t understand the basics of what autocorrect is, and would be completely justified in pointing out that that’s nonsense.

I know, but it’s a ridiculous term. It’s so bad it must have been invented or chosen to mislead and make people think it has a mind, which seems to have been successful, as evidenced by the OP

ChatGPT does not “hallucinate” or “lie”. It does not perceive, so it can’t hallucinate. It has no intent, so it can’t lie. It generates text without any regard to whether said text is true or false.

We don’t have a way to do this. I don’t think we ever will. Wish the answer was different.

The one thing I will say is that logical argument is extremely ineffective for changing people’s views. Personal, emotional stories are best. The issue is that war and the draft is already highly emotionally charged, so it’s gonna be hard to find something that will strike a nerve with someone who hasn’t already come around on it.

Everything the Nazis did in the Third Reich was legal. People who resisted them were breaking the law. Maybe we should evaluate things by their impact (pollution/invasion of privacy) rather than their legality.

If reacting to something always makes it more likely to occur, you have just made reacting to things Elon Musk says more likely to occur.

Technically true, since you could also just replace them with nothing

Executives believe nearly half of the skills that exist in today’s workforce won’t be relevant just two years from now, thanks to artificial intelligence.

1. Executives are such dumbasses

2. That is literally all this “study” did. Ask people how many of their skills they think will be obsoleted. This headline is ridiculous.

Your supporters are practically salivating over the prospect [of a civil war].

I think there’s a lot of talk, but not a lot of will. To be clear, I think there’s still a real threat, but it’s probably more in escalating stochastic terrorism rather than a full-out armed conflict.

We need a total and complete shutdown of prisons until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on

They do pay out tips, because they got sued over not

The tip should be rendered never, people should be paid a living wage.

Oh I thought they were done with 11

I may not be a computer scientist in real life, but I directed a movie based on a short story written by someone else who isn’t a computer scientist in real life.

Remove the first three words, sentence still true

An incredibly weak argument is saying that it’s fine for Apple to intentionally make their UX worse, because they didn’t make it worse enough to matter.

People never re-read their own texts, good point.

Blue vs green bubble “debate”? Apple put green bubbles in their app to annoy their own users, who then turn around and blame non-apple users. What’s to debate about that?

I use MakeMKV for ripping dvds and blurays (although honestly unless I really love the source material and want the highest possible quality I just download it).

They seem to have an active forum, that might be a good starting place.
