When I was a kid, there was this joke that involved getting a calculator to say "boobs" and then with a bit more input, "boobless".
Journalism is currently going through a more sophisticated version of this with AI.
LLMs will say whatever. They don't think and they don't care. They contradict themselves all the time. Not so long ago Chat GPT was saying it would kill the entire world population and save Musk for the good of humanity.
Various CEOs of large companies, on the other hand, have been implicated in genocides and slavery for centuries now. That's very real.
Wow, the calculator analogy is excellent. I've done my fair share of getting an AI to answer with instructions on how to form a drug cartel. Now I realise it has the exact same feeling as writing
BOOBS
