So, so important to understand:
"The model is not lying to you. Lying would require it to have a concept of truth. It is bullshitting you. It produces plausible-shaped text with total indifference to whether the world matches. When it’s right, it’s right as a side effect of its training data, not out of conviction. When it’s wrong, it’s wrong with exactly the same confidence and exactly the same beautiful prose.
That’s not a bug in the model. That is the model."
