How so? All 6 of the CVEs covered in the article did not actually exist when investigated

The comment is making fun of a Claude-ism where it becomes super “honest” about stuff.

It’s a joke but there is an underlying real effect where this type of language is psychologically manipulative and I would guess makes people believe LLMs output more than if it didn’t use “honest” (or “load bearing” or whatever super serious important sounding word).

You're absolutely right, I have hallucinated this. Would you like to find some real CVEs next?
