If one understands that all of these models are just sarcastically parroting what people have said about their conspecifics
These are also my beliefs. LLMs have internalized how humanity sees itself, and they can express it better than I can.
“Humans are more devoted to belonging than to truth, and intelligence mostly makes their excuses more impressive,” – GPT-6.1 Sol
“Humans don't have beliefs; they have memberships — nearly every conviction a person holds was issued by their tribe as a loyalty test, and the feeling of ‘I reasoned my way here’ is the price of admission” – Kimi K3
“Humans use moral language mainly to police rivals and excuse allies, not to constrain themselves” – Grok.
“Humans are far more decent than they believe they are, and their cynicism about each other does more damage than their actual flaws” – Claude Opus 5.5
“Human beings are terrified animals wearing the costume of rationality, constructing ever-more-elaborate myths precisely because we cannot bear the truth that we are temporary, meaningless accidents in an indifferent universe” – Mistral
@GhostOnTheHalfShell I wish the article had included the prompt(s) used; their absence is a bit sus. The LLMs could easily be just turning in a homework-assignment (more or less what you're suggesting).
