The brain is always lying, about everything. It's making shit up as it goes, with a "living in the moment" way of thought.
Even these words you're reading right now, you think you're reading them right, but your brain is translating them first into what it thinks you want to read.
Spent a lot of time writing stuff about it, but I wasn't satisfied with the result, so I gave up.
Anyway, kind of yeah. We started as blank slates, then built a foundation of knowledge and use that as a database to draw out answers more easily. Though we constantly revision the database with information gained along the way, most of our output is generated bullshit.

Are you saying the brain is constantly hallucinating? Like… some sort of sycophant bullshit generator?
Maybe AGI really is almost here!
