“An example of how a viral transmission is different than normal information transmission can be illustrated thusly: if information were spread in a memetic fashion, it would infect a subject, and, were the information's traits conducive to the information's survival, then the subject would accept the idea. This is strongly contrasted with information theory, in which the information is accepted based on how useful it is to an individual, e.g. the idea is accepted because it helps the subject survive if they accept it. Viruses, being obligate parasites, do not always help their host (in this case, the subject) survive.”

“Confabulation, or hallucination, is ubiquitous in AI/GPT output already. Efforts to correct this by self-learning algos and back propagation are unlikely to solve the problem because they add to the complexity of the system as a whole, which increases the likelihood of emergent ghosts. The difficulty is that duplicity is hard to detect unless you're a subject matter expert in the topic or you conduct your own research to test its accuracy. This begs the question — if you have to be a subject matter expert to spot the flaws in AI/GPT output, what good is the system in the first place?”
