I mention Harry Frankfurt every time I discuss ChatGPT because of his explanation that a bullshitter is more dangerous than the liar.

As On Bullshit explains, there’s the truth teller who is only concerned with the truth. The liar who tells the opposite of the truth, and thus must know the truth. Finally the bullshitter who neither cares about the truth or lies but rather the appearance of truth. He could be telling the truth, he could be lying, and he doesn’t care as long as you believe him.
