Regurgitation machine prone to hallucinations is my go-to for explaining what LLMs really are.
I heard them described as bullshiting machines. The have no concept of, or regard for truth or lies, and just spout whatever sounds good. Much of the time it's true. Too often it's not. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.
will they still be like that in ten years?
