  • Its bullshitting is obvious when asking for a specific easily verified fact. It seems to give a lot more knowledgeable answers when asking about something you don’t know about. Regardless of what your area of expertise is, its output on that topic will sound dumb, wrong, or nonsensical a lot more often. It bullshits all the time and when the bullshit matches reality it’s only because because the thing that sounds most like a right answer often is.

    Similarly AI image generators were never actually bad at fingers, or letters, or mirrors- they are equally getting every small detail of the image slightly wrong and there are a few things our brains are really good at knowing how they should work and immediately spotting problems with.




  • I’ll answer your question with two more questions:

    What’s the opposite of a rat king? What’s the opposite of an ant mill?

    Also I have to question your whole premise of the relationship between religion and cult. Where a cult is the bad kind of something and a religion is the neutral, default kind.

    A religion is just the final form of a successful cult that got big enough and old enough that it no longer needs to take the drastic “cult-like” measures to restrict its members and separate them from society- because it has thoroughly infiltrated and colonizied that society to such an extent that being born into that society is enough.
