Every story where someone is driven mad by ChatGPT begins with lies about the technology, what it is, and what it does—lies that originate from OpenAI itself.

The very framing of "having a conversation with a computer" is artificial, deceitful, and constructed by the company in order to turn statistical text generation into a consumer-facing product. Deceit lies at the core of what OpenAI does with this technology. The people being "fooled" by ChatGPT are first fooled by OpenAI. People are being actively coached—by real, live human beings—into being easily manipulated by this software.

LLMs will never be what they're currently advertised as. They are not answer machines. They are not search engines. They do not think. They do not provide data.

All they do is generate text via statistical weights. They do not generate thoughts, or information. Just characters in sequence. They cannot be stopped from "hallucinating." Because they do not "hallucinate." They just generate text. Whether that text reflects reality or not is only ever due to coincidence.

These companies won't tell you this, because they want your money. So they lie, which primes you to accept more BS from the automated BS machine.
