Do they not know by now how those things work? Do they think it "knows", even putting it in quotes, what it did, or even what it's saying when you ask it?

IT'S MAKING UP A PLAUSIBLE-SOUNDING ANSWER! THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO!

What the fuck is wrong with these people!?!!??

At best it's badly misinforming to quote a fucking chatbot, even as an unhinged participant in the conversation, especially without making it clear why. At worst you're giving him credit where none is due & he did exactly what it looks like.

If this journalist doesn't like people assuming he's an irresponsible idiot, he should talk with his colleagues, who've been boosting this AI bullshit with scant criticism for years.

likely put scare quotes around words like "knew" and "confession" to call out that agents do not in fact know anything and therefore cannot confess.

The are showing the chatbot's pitfalls, not citing it as authority.
