The exponential divergence formula is true but says less than you think - the same math would be true for human output; we are likely to find a few falsehoods in any non fiction book for the same reason, right?

Yeah I'm aware of the criticism of that tweet, it may not completely make sense mathematically, but I just liked it because it's how I feel about GPT4.

It "diverges" while my human mind seemingly is different in some way - I can keep going at the math problem forever (for much longer?) and I won't hallucinate incorrect proofs (at least very unlikely, and I can keep re-checking them).

Of course this all in the area of feelings and faith - we just don't know much about cognition I guess.
