"I want a chat bot that's just as reliable at Steve! Sure he doesn't get it right all the time and he cost us the Black+Decker contract, but he's so confident!"

You're right! This is exactly what an executive wants to base the future of their business off of!

[Retric]

You say that like it’s untrue, but they measurably prefer a lying but confident salesman over one who doesn’t act with that kind of confidence.

This is very slightly more rational than it seems because repeating or acting on a lie gives you cover.

[dontlikeyoueith]

Yes, that is in fact their revealed preference.

Did you have a point?

[rockskon]

You use unfalsifiable logic. And you seem to argue that, given the choice, CEOs would prefer not to maximize revenue in favor of... what, affection for an imaginary intern?

[dontlikeyoueith]

Cute straw man.

You must be a CEO.

I'm not arguing anything. I'm observing reality. You're the one who is desperate to rationalize it.

[rockskon]

You are declaring your imagined logic as fact. Since I do not agree with the basis upon which you pin your argument on, there is no further point in discussion.

[dontlikeyoueith]

You're hallucinating things I did not say.
