Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"To borrow some technical terminology from the philosopher Harry Frankfurt, “ChatGPT is bullshit.” Paraphrasing Frankfurt, a liar cares about the truth and wants you to believe something different, whereas the bullshitter is utterly indifferent to the truth. Donald Trump is a bullshitter, as is Elon Musk when he makes grandiose claims about the future capabilities of his products. And so is Sam Altman and the LLMs that power OpenAI’s chatbots. Again, all ChatGPT ever does is hallucinate — it’s just that sometimes these hallucinations happen to be accurate, though often they aren’t. (Hence, you should never, ever trust anything that ChatGPT tells you!)</p><p>My view, which I’ll elaborate in subsequent articles, is that LLMs aren’t the right architecture to get us to AGI, whatever the hell “AGI” means. (No one can agree on a definition — not even OpenAI in its own publications.) There’s still no good solution for the lingering problem of hallucinations, and the release of GPT-5 may very well hurt OpenAI’s reputation."</p><p><a href="https://www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/gpt-5-is-by-far-the-best-ai-system" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/gp</span><span class="invisible">t-5-is-by-far-the-best-ai-system</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a></p>
