Turns out that being a proficient liar might be the key to success in this attention economy (see also: chatbots).
look, i didn't say liar,
Maybe "storyteller" would be more accurate? Like, the prompt outputs were pretty obviously real and I can totally buy that he asked it to write an apology letter while dicking around waiting for Replit to restore a backup, but the question becomes whether he was just goofing off and playing into his role to make the story more memable or whether he was actually that naive.
