Thanks for the information. I was aware it was originally an essay that was compiled into a book. And now that I know it's pretty light I'm even more motivated to read it.

In relation to your LLM comment, I was on the Wikipedia page for Frankfurt's Book and there is a specific mention of Bullshit of the LLM variety:

>Frankfurt's concept of bullshit has been taken up as a description of the behavior of large language model (LLM)-based chatbots, as being more accurate than "hallucination" or "confabulation". The uncritical use of LLM output is sometimes called botshit.[0] (at the bottom of the section)

This might be slightly tertiary but my interest in this subject has also led me to 'The art of being right' by Arthur Schopenhauer.[1] Which doesn't explicitly state that it's bullshit but it is rhetorical sophistry dedicated to winning arguments and debates. And many of the tactics in the book smell just as bad as any Bullshit. There's some modern reprints floating around and it's also a pretty light book.
