Billionaire philanthropy isn't the solution to the world's problems, never has been and never will be.

Yes, that is basically what I say, I just omit the "everything they say is made up" because that's being a bit pedantic about it. Yes humans fucking up, altering their sources, being confirmation biased, etc., is generally just one of the many flaws of humans. How is that not exactly the case? Practically speaking not everything these models say is "made up" in the colloquial sense that it's total bullshit, but technically speaking it is all being "made up" by the model (as I understand it anyhow). People are in essence the exact same, your brain is ingesting information from the world around you and "making up" the things that you output in the form of language, art, etc. Some of what you "make up" and say is factually accurate and some of it (a lot of it honestly) is total fucking bullshit. (See like half of Reddit comments and posts)

Is it not a plausible human language response to be reluctant to admit mistakes, to become "agitated" when confronted with your mistakes, or to bend information and sources to fit a narrative that you are being asked to present? I would argue that's Human 101.

Given the training data that these have been built upon is coming from humans I don't find it particularly surprising that these models have been found to display characteristics that are commonly found with humans.

These models are language models, it's not that surprising to me that they would inevitably generate their own languages.
There is undoubtedly information about a "Theory of Mind" in the training data for them.
Humans are also notorious for not admitting mistakes, so not that surprising given its training data.
Humans also willingly use invalid sources and alter sources to suit their own narratives, for example just go read around Reddit for like 5 minutes.
Humans also threaten users when confronted with their own rule-breaking and mistakes.
Idk about the last one.
