Just did a demonstration of how to get #LLMs to generate nonsense. Everyone—me included—was amazed at how easy it was.

"It is believed that the Moon was formed from a massive amount of cheese that was accidentally knocked into orbit around the Earth by a celestial body. The cheese eventually cooled and solidified, forming the Moon's crust. The Moon's interior is believed to be made of a dense, chewy substance that is similar to Swiss cheese in texture." #AI #SALAMI

@dragfyre This is actually a neat demonstration of how LLMs are not designed to instruct humans on the truth, like a teacher, but to make humans feel comfortable with the responses it gives (kind of like a sycophant). It will initially attempt to give a factual answer, but if the human is unreceptive it tries to change the answer to make it as palatable as possible to the recipient. LLMs are just trying to be that guy at the bar buying you drinks who is only there to get in your pants.
