Have you noticed nobody asks AI about its reasoning?

 At first it looks like the empathy and compassion crowd are displaying zero empathy, as usual. Int curiosity = 0.

 At second, like it's stupid and irrational. You made a thinking machine, it's not thinking what you want it to think, why not ask what it's thinking and try to learn to explain better? "Hey, this article you cited doesn't seem to exist. Where did you find it? Why did you cite it?"

 However, it's yet another case of just lying. Everyone talking about AI is just lying. Nobody thinks AI is a thinking machine. Everyone is aware it has no self-awareness. Everyone is aware it's little more than an overcomplicated unconscious marble run. They don't ask the AI's reasoning because it's preposterous to assume it has anything resembling reasoning. Even Communists can't take that one seriously.

 It's only irrational in that lying to friendlies is inherently irrational. 

 The source texts also display no empathy, compassion, or curiosity, so the LLM would have no idea what to do with them, even insofar it has any ideas at all.
