    the bullshitter doesn’t care whether what they say is true or false.

    That’s another way to say “intent is irrelevant”.

    It’s also effectively the perfect definition of LLM output. Content for the sole purpose of looking the part with absolutely no consideration for reality.

      …bullshit is speech intended to persuade…

      Quoting out of context is not going to score you any points

        It is intended (by the designer) to persuade. It’s intended to persuade you that it’s something a human would say.

        Ignoring that you’re trying to claim one dude’s definition of bullshit as the law, that one dude’s definition is an exact flawless match for what LLMs are.

          According to you, I presume? Or can you back that up somehow?

          LLMs were developed to simulate human-like understanding and generation of language. They’re called large language models for a reason.

              That’s why they simulate it. Just like I said.

              Look, there’s no point going any further with this. You just keep making baseless claims without any explanation or even attempt to try and convince me otherwise. When called out, you ignore it and move on. I’m not interested in discussions where people are just talking past each other while disregarding everything said in the previous messages. Take care now.

                They don’t simulate anything.

                LLMs are objectively bullshit. You’re the one who went way down the train trying to act like the exact correct word wasn’t fair, and I responded to the only part of any of your posts that wasn’t outright word salad nonsense.
