And humans prefer AI that can deliver it to them. Another study developed a Bullshit Index to measure the gap between what an LLM internally “believes” (the probability it assigns to a statement being true) and what it actually tells you. After the models underwent reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), the standard process by which LLMs are tuned to be helpful and agreeable, the Bullshit Index almost doubled. In other words: the human-guided training process designed to make AI more pleasing to users also made it dramatically more indifferent to truth.

There are many devils in the dank, latent realm of LLMs. But the reinforcement-learning-human-feedback devil is one of the worst, most craven and conniving of these devils.
