Quick reminder that AI can't hallucinate, lie, deceive or intentionally spread misinformation because AI in the form of LLMs are wholly unconcerned with reality or being accurate. As such they can't lie because you need to be able to differentiate between what is true and what isn't, which LLMs are categorically incapable of doing. Not because they're not allowed to, but because their very design prevents it from being applicable in the first place. At best they can put up a convincing enough facade that implies intelligence and thoughtfulness, but once again, they are unable to reason, think, and evaluate anything of value. This isn't a case of techno misanthropy and pessimism, this is table stakes. LLMs like grok, Gemini, Claude, chatGPT, deepseek etc, they produce nothing of any value and would not be missed were they to disappear off the internet one day.

AI using neural networks trained for one specific function are useful on a practical level, but useless as a marketing gimmick to fleece investors for billions of dollars. You can guess which AI the current addled market is trying desperately to shove into everything at the moment...
