AI doesn’t answer—it regurgitates plausible output that happens to be right.
AI doesn’t hallucinate—it regurgitates plausible output that happens to be wrong.
AI doesn’t have agency—it regurgitates plausible output that is consumed by a computer program.
AI doesn’t think—it regurgitates plausible output that is fed back into itself to try again.
AI doesn’t create—it regurgitates a mixture of its training data.

Remember: the robot is not a person.

What we should do is hold tech giants responsible for what is said etc in AI generated text. They're the "authors".

I wanted Deepseek to summarize the Iran war Trump started. It told me this war doesn't exist. I gave it Web Sites from established and reliable sources to read. It said someone managed to inject a hoax there or that it is a satirical fiction. Nobody, not even Donald Trump would be that stupid to start this war!

It was really hard work to get it to accept that our timeline is not only the one where Biff Tannen became president, but the one where Idiocracy happened already in 2025.

It was really funny to see how the training to prevent bullshit output turned against the bullshit we have in our reality.

So yes, it's not intelligent, and it is not artificial. It is just another sloppy way to search the Internet, and find something that is close, but not actually there.

The Autocompletion Parrot doesn't. If you manage to guide it to autocomplete a good conversation starter, you can somewhat get something not too far from what you could have written yourself.

I think bullshit machine is adequate.
Maybe not exactly nice towards the bull and shit in general. At least it's not a human condition (usually).

There's also the option of adding quotes around "AI", as a way to indicate "so-called, not what it actually is".

Replace the word "AI" with "human" in that statement and it would still be true.

AI is not trained.

The preproduction of the model is also included in the anthropomorphisation. Next they will be speaking of giving birth to new models.

💯

The most resonate description for me is by Dr Emily Bender who compares it to a Magic Eight Ball, a 64 bit Magic Eight Ball.

I remain shocked at how easily, relatively "smart" people embrace AI as a cure-all. How CEOs become cheerleaders to subordinates of an unproven robot to "extrude" managerial "decisions" without question.

Crazy.
