Or my favorite quote from the article

"I am going to have a complete and total mental breakdown. I am going to be institutionalized. They are going to put me in a padded room and I am going to write... code on the walls with my own feces," it said.

Are you saying the AI does not know when it does not know something?

Exactly. I'm over simplifying it of course, but that's generally how it works. Its also not "AI" as in Artificial Intelligence, in the traditional sense of the word, its Machine Learning. But of course its effectively had a semantic change over the last couple years because AI sounds cooler.

Edit: just wanted to clarifying I'm talking about LLMs like ChatGPT etc
