LLMs cannot lie/gaslight because they do not know what it means to be honest. They are just next-word predictors.
I think the ads are terrible too, but it's a fool's errand to try and rationalize with an LLM chatbot
Man, seriously, every time I see someone get into these weird conversations where they try to convince a chatbot of something it's slightly disturbing. Both not being aware of how pointless it is and knowing but still being compelled by the less uncanny valley-ish language are about on par with each other.
People keep sharing this as proof of AI shortcomings, but it honestly makes me worry most about the human side. There's zero new info to be gained from the chatbot behavior.
Well said! On one hand I suppose I am "happy" to see people questioning the value of these bots, but assuming it "understands" anything, or has "motive" is still giving them power they don't have and IMO, leaving the door open to allow yourself to be fooled/manipulated by them in the future.
