    It didn’t “lie,” because an LLM can’t deceive. It’s a tool that predicts the next most likely token, and unless you asking for citations you’re using an LLM in an application where they do not usually perform well

      Yeah, it just accurately predicted what a liar would write! 😅

      That reads like it was written by an ai.

        That reads like almost all of my writing. God forbid someone uses slightly large words and a neutral, academic tone.

          I really hate it when you guys end in an engagement prompt.

            Distinguish between a question and an “engagement prompt”.

            You’re annoying. “Everything I don’t like is AI” is a different kind of psychosis
