    LLMs are indifferent to the truth. They just "make shit up", it is true sometimes and other times it isn't.

    Truth is the most problematic concept in philosophy, go see

    to see how bad it is in logic and mathematics, go into the social world and I'd say that introducing the concept of "truth" itself erodes the truth.

    Just for fun - can one of you rocket surgeons calculate the probability that an AGI already exists and has distributed itself sufficient throughout the internet that it hasn't been detected? How would one set up this calculation and what is the result?
