Annalee Newitz 🍜Ever since playing with ChatGPT, I've become sensitized to the way false rationality sounds ... there's a particular vibe to what is basically coherent nonsense. And now I've started to notice when people do it too. I get this crawly ChatGPT feeling when somebody is obviously making up an "authoritative" answer to a question they know nothing about. #AI #chatgpt #psychology
Timothée Poisot@annaleen it perfectly fits what Frankfurt (On Bullshit, 1986) described: "although it is produced without concern with the truth, it need not be false".
@tpoisot and on the flip side, Paul Linebarger argued back in the 1940s (Psychological Warfare) that propaganda always contains truth.
