It's disappointing how many people who proudly call themselves software engineers have still not grasped that Large Language Models are incapable of intelligence. Bullshit is not the exception, it is the one thing it's capable of doing. LLMs can only predict the structure of language that would likely be used by a human if there were a human writing about that subject. LLMs don't understand the subject itself, cannot analyze ideas, cannot make reasoned conclusions based on evidence, cannot even distinguish between what is real and hallucinatory. But they are extremely good at emulating the language of a human who confidently spews bullshit. Because that's the one thing an LLM is designed to do. As a woman I've spent a lifetime having to tolerate ignorant bullshit that's gladly offered up for free. Why would I bother to pay for what I already don't need?
