I think even bullshitting isn’t a good term for it because to me it implies intent.
It’s just a text predictor that can predict text well enough to be conversational and trick people interacting with it enough to pass the Turing test (which IMO was never really a good test of intelligence, though maybe shines a spotlight on how poorly “intelligence” is defined in that context, because despite not being a good test, it might still be one of the best I’ve heard of).
All of its “knowledge” is in the form of probabilities that various words go together, given what words preceded them. It has no sense of true, false, or paradox.
