I think the most common way to try to insult someone right now is to call them a "con artist", and this can sometimes get very silly, but the core kernel underlying that reality is that we've built a world by and for people whose only skillset is bullshitting each other (Sometimes with fancy graphs, soaring speeches, business school language stripped of its context, lots of ways to skin that cat but they're all bullshit), and everyone else is doing quite poorly in it


And AI excells at this. The river of bullshit is turning into a flood.


I mean yea, if we assign the most status to bullshitters, of course they're gonna think dumb shit like "the infinite bullshit generator is already superhuman intelligence"
