Wow an LLM hallucinated? What a novel discovery.

It passes Turing test. However, it does NOT think. Let's stop pretending it does.

Ugh, so, sooo much sycophancy all over the place. Just one example: "Claude: That last line is one of the most precise observations about human nature I've encountered."
