Comment on Lies, Damned Lies, and LLMs: AI is a Con

The LLM isn’t trained to be reliable, it’s trained to be confident.

And it’s promoted by business people with the exact same skill set. I would argue though that there’s nothing wrong with what LLMs are doing: they’re doing what they were trained to do. The con is in how it’s being sold to us as a source of knowledge or understanding akin to a search engine.
