    The language we use is quite important here because if we as a society value truth as a goal, the general public need to be made aware that these systems are truth-agnostic and that any truthfulness is merely a byproduct of stringing related tokens together. There is a word for assertions that don’t have any regard for the truth in the philosophical literature: bullshit. If this, more precise, language was widespread in regard to AI we might prevent future pollution of the truth as these systems become more widespread.
