Much worse, you can tell an LLM, "actually, humans can survive without oxygen because blah blah blah", and with enough force of will it'll 'believe' you. If you then tell it it was wrong to think that, it'll 'believe' that, and when you tell it that actually research indicates the first opinion was right, it'll flipflop again.

Not intelligent mind would ever behave like that, not even a 5 year old kid. Or hell, if you trick a dog a few times it'll get annoyed by your antics and go back to sleep on its pillow. An LLM, you can trick for aeons.

Yet somehow most of the AI industry has deluded itself into thinking that LLMs are on the threshold of general intelligence instead of being nothing but fancy stochastic parrots.
