The moderators of a pro-artificial intelligence Reddit community announced that they have been quietly banning “a bunch of schizoposters” who believe “they’ve made some sort of incredible discovery or created a god or become a god,” highlighting a new type of chatbot-fueled delusion that started getting attention in early May.

    There are no trustworthy LLMs. They don’t know it understand what they’re saying - they’re literally just predicting words that sound like they match what it was taught. It’s a only barely smarter than a parrot, and it has no idea how to research anything or tell facts from made-up bullshit. You’re wasting your time by trying to force it to do something it’s literally incapable of doing.

    You’re better off researching them the hard way; check primary sources and then check the credibility of those sources.

      Considering that parrots can have actual thoughts, I’d say LLMs are even less smart than that.
