    Pretty engrained vocabulary at this point. Lies implies intent. I would have preferred “errors”

    Also, for the record, this is the most dystopian headline I’ve come across to date.

      If a human does not know an answer to a question, yet they make some shit up instead of saying “I don’t know”, what would you call that?

        that’s a lie. They knowingly made something up. The AI doesn’t know what it’s saying so it’s not lying. “Hallucinating” isn’t a perfect word but it’s much more accurate than “lying.”

          This is what I’ve been calling it. Not as a pejorative term, just descriptive. It has no concept of truth or not-truth, it just tells good-sounding stories. It’s just bullshitting. It’s a bullshit engine.
