Persuasive machines: large language models and the art of rhetoric
link.springer.com/article/10…
✍️ @David_Gunkel via "AI & Society on @SpringerNature 👉 "What LLMs do not do, is care about the truth of the matter. They are not designed to know whether what they say is true, only whether it is likely, fitting, coherent, and contextually appropriate given the prompt and the data on which they have been trained"
💡 "The problem with LLMs is not simply that they sometimes get things wrong. It is that they operationalize at scale a mode of discursive activity long regarded with suspicion in the Western philosophical tradition: rhetoric" @Corix_JC @ahier @sim010101 @maponi @sallyeaves @CEO_AISOMA @dinisguarda @JagersbergKnut @Shi4Tech @FernandaKellner @EstelaMandela @sulefati7 @SusanHayes_ @PVynckier [Translated from EN to English]
