    If scientists made AI, then it wouldn’t be an issue for AI to say “I don’t know”.

    But capitalists are making it, and the last thing you want is it to tell an investor “I don’t know”. So you tell it to make up bullshit instead, and hope the investor believes it.

      Just put this into GPT 4.

      What’s your view of the fizbang Raspberry blasters?

      Gpt ‘I’m not familiar with “fizbang Raspberry blasters.” Could you provide more details or clarify what they are?’

      It’s a drink making machine from china

      Gpt ‘I don’t have any specific information on the “fizbang Raspberry blasters” drink making machine. If it’s a new or niche product, details might be limited online.’

      So, in this instance is didn’t hallucinate, i tried a few more made up things and it’s consistent in saying it doesn’t know of these.

      Explanations?

      It is made by scientists. The problem is that said scientists are paid by investors mostly, or by grants that come from investors.
