How could it be that we humans hardly even agree on what "knowledge" truly is, yet somehow this machine learning algorithm somehow "compulsively lies"? How would it even know what is a lie, and how could something lacking autonomy in the first place do anything compulsively?
This is a good point. As much as there is too much breathless enthusiasm for AI, there is also a lot of emotionally manipulative and hyperbolic language used by skeptics. We're warned not to anthropomorphize, and then hear about AI's compulsive lying, or "hallucinations", in the next.
