@aral I’m sure you’ve seen that there is a peer-reviewed article that argues that “ChatGPT is bullshit”. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10676-024-09775-5

1. ChatGPT is bullshit - Ethics and Information Technology
  
  from Slater, Joe
  
  Recently, there has been considerable interest in large language models: machine learning systems which produce human-like text and dialogue. Applications of these systems have been plagued by persistent inaccuracies in their output; these are often called “AI hallucinations”. We argue that these falsehoods, and the overall activity of large language models, is better understood as bullshit in the sense explored by Frankfurt (On Bullshit, Princeton, 2005): the models are in an important way indifferent to the truth of their outputs. We distinguish two ways in which the models can be said to be bullshitters, and argue that they clearly meet at least one of these definitions. We further argue that describing AI misrepresentations as bullshit is both a more useful and more accurate way of predicting and discussing the behaviour of these systems.
