"Do not treat the generative AI as a rational being" Challenge

Rating: impossible

Asking a LLM bot to explain its reasoning, its creation, its training data, or even its prompt doesn't result in an output that means anything. LLMs do not have introspection. Getting the LLM to "admit" something embarrassing is not a win.

No, really, look, I did it

@inthehands OK, you are a person on the Internet (and also one I've met in real life) and I kind of want to argue with you whether or not you accomplished the challenge. :)

But the tragedy here is that I have felt the same way about LLMs _even though_ I know that it is futile. Once you are chatting in a textbox some sort of magic takes over where we ascribe intentionality.

Yeah, it’s a sad fact of life that we don’t get to opt out of being human just because we know better.
