I've been using it as a joke but if they're predicting what we want to read, is it possible they just learned to make stuff up by having internet forums in their training data?

The amount of BS we feed each other online, maybe it just thinks we'd prefer something made up than "I don't know"

Not sure if it came off as me saying the parent comment was BS or if what I said was just dumb. Downvotes don't explain anything, haha

For the record I wasn't saying the parent comment was BS :)
