Sayash Kapoor and I call [AI] a bullshit generator, as have others as
well. We mean this not in a normative sense but in a relatively
precise sense. We mean that it is trained to produce plausible text.
It is very good at being persuasive, but it's not trained to produce
true statements. It often produces true statements as a side effect of
being plausible and persuasive, but that is not the goal.
