ChatGPT is not bullshit, nor is it not not bullshit
摘要
This paper intervenes in the debate over whether ChatGPT and other similar large language models (LLMs) are bullshit and answers that they are not. LLMs, however, don’t avoid being bullshitters in the way that humans do, i.e., by caring about the truth and avoiding deception. Rather, LLMs are not the kinds of things that can even count as bullshit. Attributing the property of being a bullshitter to LLMs is a category mistake.
