But this is itself an issue.
LLMs aside, whenever people see a human bullshitter, identifies them as a bullshitter, and then thinks to themselves, "Ah! But this bullshitter will be useful to me" it is only a matter of time before that faustian deal, of allowing harm for the people who put trust in you in exchange for easy returns, turns to harming for you eventually.
