14. The AIs are LLMs and Generative AIs. That's why

LLMs are Large Language Models. They process words.

Generative AI is basically an LLM run backwards. So if you give it instructions, it produces something that could be the input to the LLM. That means that the output of the Generative AI is something that has all the structure and simulation of detail but is not necessarily any truth.

Example: If you give an LLM a 20 page legal brief and ask "what is this", it might come back and say "This is a legal brief about a case of such-and-such that turns on a point of law referencing three decisions in the last decade."

Okay, so then you say, prepare for me a legal brief making a case for this-and-that, it will deliver you a 20 page legal brief. But when you examine it in detail and look up the references, half the references will be non-existent. It will have all the look and feel of a proper legal brief but will be nonsense.

If you put that nonsense brief into another AI and ask what is this, it is likely to return you the description you gave the first AI.
