Doh, don't know why I didn't spot this glaring connection between ML generated outputs and Frankfurtian bullshit.

And thinking about it, this is a restatement of point that humans who are not concentrating are not general intelligences. "Not general intelligences" may be synonomous with bs producers/consumers. "Concentration" = truth-looped?

Bullshit in this epistemological sense is not a moral failure, but an incomplete cognition mode. It corresponds to the upstream part of what Daniel Dennett called the "multiple drafts" view of consciousness. First you confabulate, then you discriminate.

Ie the bullshit is necessary but not sufficient. You free-associate to produce output that has a cosmetic coherence, and then close the truth loop somehow in a downstream discrimination step before actual output. Bullshitters output intermediate output indiscriminately basically.

Note that this is the opposite of autism. Autists let even minor sensory errors propagate to consciousness as a discordance, like the scratch of a tag on your shirt or noise from multiple conversations. Wambs, on the other hand, suppress all discordance pre-consciously.

Extrapolates a fragile pop-psych understanding of aspie/nerd into a way too ambitious symmetry argument to construct an antiparticle that in my experience doesn’t actually exist. It’s a cute archetype with fragments of accuracy but the gestalt is incoherent.
