Turns out that being a proficient liar might be the key to success in this attention economy (see also: chatbots).

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.

Can it really be that stupid? Was he just prompting it wrong?
