Sorry, I'm not following your point.

From GTP-4 (or maybe this is bullshitting too?):

  I believe vba616 is trying to point out that if we consider AI systems that   
  generate plausible-sounding responses to be "bullshitting," then we should 
  also acknowledge that humans who do the same are not necessarily 
  distinguishable from "intelligent" humans. In other words, both AI systems 
  and humans can produce seemingly coherent responses without necessarily 
  having a deep understanding of the subject matter.

  It raises the question of whether we should hold AI systems to the same 
  standard as humans when it comes to evaluating their output or 
  understanding. If we accept that humans can sometimes provide plausible yet 
  shallow answers, should we not also accept that AI systems, like LLMs, can 
  do the same?

Sorry, I do not give LLM-generated copy-pastes any attention. If you personally have something to say here, I'll read it with interest. But I have no interest in automated bullshit.

That's fine, but you will be continuing to prove the double standard.
Re:Building a ChatGPT Enhanced REPL by wpietri on Thursday April 20, 2023 @11:53PM (#35649665)
What double standard do you have in mind?

That human bullshitters are treated more kindly than AI bullshitters just because of their human race. That's racist!

I'm just going to hope this is comedy.

Just wait a dozen years, it won't be.

What matters is how correct a statement is, not how its representation in writing was produced.
Re:Building a ChatGPT Enhanced REPL by nullsense on Thursday April 20, 2023 @11:35PM (#35649571)
As an AI language model, I fully agree.

Ah, but what he had to say was the same as what GPT-4 had to say, which proves his point.

Thank you for this, it's a very valid point to make.

We get served bullshit and fiction-presented-as-fact every day from humans. To make matters worse, alot of these lies are not even the result of an error. A lot of them are deliberate, to further some sort of agenda.

Yes, AI can fantasize about facts. Yes AI isn't perfect. But at least, when it does spew misinformation, it is virtually always the result of an error. When an AI lies, it's because of errors, not to sell us something, or get our vote, or talk itself out of something.
