Humans have been incentivized to essentially be BS machines.

From low-quality blog posts to the highest-grossing marketing and everything in between (including many published books and scientific papers): BS makes enough money that it’s low-effort gives a decent ROI.

Of course an AI trained on a large human corpus is going to produce BS. It’s just doing what it learned.
