Oh, my mistake. Lying is fine as long as other people are doing it.

Good logic.

I rarely call it AI myself and for similar reasons.

The LLM models are something. To me they look like knowledge holograms. Or maybe just a huge pattern inference machine.

And they are ODD. Like a fragment of smarts. Dangerous and for sure not something we can rely on.

It’s not lying.

It’s a term with historic precedence.

It’s an aspiration to mechanize thought.

Are we there yet? It’s a continuum.

Excellent logic.
