Oddly, "bullshit" qualifies as a technical term in this context. The authors argue that chatgpt (and similar systems) emit bullshit.

They don't lie or hallucinate because they don't know or believe anything. It's all just text modeling.

The focus in this type of AI is to produce text that looks convincing, but it doesn't have any concept of truth/falsehood, fact or fiction.

When this is the way someone talks, we say that they're bullshitting us. So it is with chatgpt.

That's not bold. Just a limited vocabulary.

The article uses the academically and philosophically defined term "bullshit." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit

And I'm not bullshitting, the authors mention it in the abstract.

I'm so sick of people like you. "Oh, they may be right but they were a bit rude. So I'm going to pretend that they are wrong". Go fuck yourself if you have nothing useful to contribute. This is just a tactic trolls use in the internet to distract people, and people keep falling for it.

Plus if you actually read the article you would know that they are referencing an academic definition of bullshit. So go fuck yourself twice, you didn't even bother to read before declaring your incredible moral superiority. You are just a clown.

Let me say this slowly for you, so you can maybe understand. I wasn't criticizing the point in the original article. I was criticizing the OP who said it was "bold."

Now, run along and argue with someone more your speed. Try 5th graders.

Wow you really got him lmao. Go back to Reddit

Your comment is a sign of limited vocabulary, because you pretty much used words that everyone uses.

(See how your argument holds no water?)

I love the term too but I wonder how it'll be used in situations where profanity is discouraged

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I couldn't care less about places in which profanity is discouraged.

If you're going to be disrespectful, you'll be so regardless of language.

For instance:

"You suck donkey balls"

vs.

(And bear in mind that I don't use this term!)

"You're mentally retarded"

No profanity in the second one. And yet, I'd feel like punching the person's face who would say the second one to me. Not because someone would say that to me, but because I find the use of the label offensive in general.

So, fuck it.
