There are some semantic debates going on in this thread about the term "bullshit". But there is a clear definition. The paper Stallman links to uses bullshit in the Frankfurtian sense, that is, talk without care for the truth:

> The liar, Frankfurt holds, knows and cares about the truth, but deliberately sets out to mislead instead of telling the truth. The "bullshitter", on the other hand, does not care about the truth and is only seeking "to manipulate the opinions and the attitudes of those to whom they speak"[0]

What is truth, but defined by our sensory input? LLMs care about truth insofar as truth exists in their sensory input.

They also can be massaged for financial incentives when controlled by private corporations, which can result in prioritizing things other than truth, much like humans.
