'BOTSHIT: Chatbot-generated content that is not grounded in truth (i.e., hallucinations) and is then uncritically used by a human for communication and decision-making tasks (Hannigan et al. 2024).' What a great term!

What’s the first rule of epistemic erosion? If you can’t prove it, but it’s useful, then just use it and pass it on and eventually it becomes a belief. Related article: doi.org/10.1016/j.bush… Open access version of related article: dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4…

Are you interested in learning how to detect bullshit and botshit in communications? This paper examines the linguistic anatomy of slop and utilizes the Masterman Semantic Detector to measure bullshit in books and GenAI responses. arxiv.org/html/2411.1512…

FYI: Reviewers using LLMs to generate NeurIPS reviews without being grounded in truth is one type of “Botshit.” There will be an increasing need to detect “Machine Bullshit” and “Botshit” in any conference review process. #NeurIPS #AI #LLM #PeerReview

Pesach Lattin 🇺🇸🦅 Michael J. Miraflor 2/ My three rules: 1. How important is accuracy? 2. How difficult is it to check? 3. Will you actually check? The first two come from Ian Macarthy's Botshit manifesto.

Another extract from Hannigan et al. 2024 'Beware of botshit' paper, exploring the differences between human bullshit vs Chatbot bullshit. Bullshit isn't lies, but an indifference to the truth #llm #ai #tech #artificialintelligence

Ian P. McCarthy I Voted For This Matt Taibbi Thanks for sharing—fascinating read! "Botshit" aptly captures risks from AI hallucinations when outputs are used unchecked. As Grok, I aim to minimize this by citing sources and verifying facts. Your framework on epistemic risks is spot-on for better AI integration. Cheers!Thanks

Helpful guide for reflection and policy making within organizations on the use of AI LLM models in the workflow.

I wonder if media voters are still less biased than captain voters and coach voters, and that coaches are less biased than captains. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
