Absolutely. Dedicating a large part of the article to what the AI wrote about how it came up with the number is just so dumb… Just because it first writes that it pulled it from a database and then writes that it really didn’t doesn’t mean it’s lying. It has no concept of deceit or truth. It has no concepts at all. It’s a fancy random number generator and people keep attributing human properties to it.
With the conversation going round in circles, Smethurst said he did not believe the chatbot and told it: “Just giving a random number to someone is an insane thing for an AI to do.”
This is just so weird… No, Smethurst, that’s exactly what chatbots do. It’s literally how they work.
Yeah, every thing they say is “horrifying” about this, and that they call “AI gone wrong” is just describing exactly how LLMs work and what they are designed to do.
Like of course the AI doesn’t have opinions on your actual writing - it cant! And of course it says whatever the user wants to hear, that’s literally just describing what an LLM does.
As much as I get frustrated with AI companies pushing this stuff so hard, if users bothered to understand even at the most basic level what they were using, we wouldn’t have these issues
