With a politician or sales person we understand their motivation. Chatbots have no intentionality & are optimised for plausibility & engagement, not truthfulness. They will invent facts for no purpose. Thx @johnthornhill.bsky.social @financialtimes.com 4 feat our work tinyurl.com/ycxyskba

Yes! Hallucinations and sycophancy are not some unintended consequence of AI. They are features, not bugs. If we want to improve things, we need changes in design, governance and incentives, not end-of-pipe fixes.

"LLMs do not distinguish between fact & fiction. They are not designed to tell the truth. They are designed to persuade, yet they are implemented in sectors where truth & detail matter, e.g. education, science, health, the media, law, & finance."
