The more sophisticated AI models get, the more likely they are to lie

Human feedback to AIs makes them favor providing an answer, even a wrong one, while making the answer more convincing.

@arstechnica while the logic of what is being said here is reasonable as an account of how AI is not becoming more accurate, the article anthopomorphises AI more than any other I have ever read. "AI models are not really intelligent, not in a human sense of the word." Wrong. There is no "intelligence" at all. That is not how they work.
