LLMs haven't been caught actively lying yet, which isn't something that can be said for anything else.

Give it 5yr and their reputation will be in the toilet too.

LLMs can't lie: they aren't alive.

The text they produce contains lies, constantly, at almost every interaction.

  • It's the technically true but incomplete or missing something things I'm worried about.

    Basically eventually it's gonna stop being "dumb wrong" and start being "evil person making a motivated argument in the comments" and "sleazy official press release politician speak" type wrong

    • Wasn't / isn't Grok already there? It already supported the "white genocide in SA" conspiracy theory at one point, AFAIK.

> LLMs haven't been caught actively lying yet…

Any time they say "I'm sorry" - which is very, very common - they're lying.
