This isn't a good characterization of it either. I don't think LLMs know the difference. Bullshit implies they are lying.

It's possible LLMs are lying but my guess is that they really just can't tell the difference.

They're using the term 'bullshit' as it is understood as a term of art, which doesn't imply lying. It's closer to creating a response without any regard for telling the truth. Bullshitting is often most effective when you happen to be telling the truth, although the bullshitter has no commitment to that.

I disagree. IF something is bullshit nobody means that bullshit is possibly true. Bullshit is colloquially always false and always a lie.
