I've seen that in humans too. For example after gradding an exam, a student may come and explain why they made a mistake and why they intended to do and why we shoud increase the grade. Most of the times the new explanation is as bad as the original one.

Yes, humans can bullshit too. Is that the standard to which we want to hold our AI?

The question is not if humans do bullshit like LLMs, it's whether AI can think like humans.

I don't think the question is AI can think like humans. The question is whether AI can perform task like humans. We don't even know how humans think. Even asking the question whether AI can think like humans at this point is pretty non-sensical.
