bullshitting has never been a crime

Fraud is a crime, but admittedly, not all bullshitting is fraud.

unless you signed a contract with your readers, saying "this article was not LLM written" while being written by LLMs is not fraud, just lying which is legal

but we are not even talking about that, most authors do not claim LLMs were not used

Bullshitting has potentially severe consequences to the bullshitter. A good reputation is worth a lot.

Of course, Elon Musk makes many millions with his bullshit. I admit that.
