What's mind-blowing to me is that people see the "you're right to push back" as anything besides hallucination / self affirmation

Dude, the fucking model is great for sure, but there is nothing behind the illusion. It doesn't know if something is right or wrong - simpler or harder to reason about etc

It's just generating text, in a coherent manner while following rhetoric processes as a solid attempt at logical thinking

Why is that so hard for people to grok?

Our industry (and society after) is beyond doomed with people seeing these self affirmations as anything like "insightful" validation.
