Which of these two messages do you think is more effective?
**ChatGPT will lie to you**
Or
**ChatGPT doesn’t lie, lying is too human and implies intent. It hallucinates. Actually no, hallucination still implies human-like thought. It confabulates. That’s a term used in psychiatry to describe when someone replaces a gap in one’s memory by a falsification that one believes to be true—though of course these things don’t have human minds so even confabulation is unnecessarily anthropomorphic.**
TLDR: There's a time for linguistics, and there's a time for grabbing the general public by the shoulders and shouting "It lies! The computer lies to you! Don't trust anything it says!"
Also in my post:
"Honestly, at this point using ChatGPT in the way that I do feels like a massively unfair competitive advantage. I’m not worried about AI taking people’s jobs: I’m worried about the impact of AI-enhanced developers like myself.
It genuinely feels unethical for me *not* to help other people learn to use these tools as effectively as possible. I want everyone to be able to do what I can do with them, as safely and responsibly as possible."
