LLMs are really good at making backronyms, in fact it might be one of the things they're best at. Try prompting any soulless overlord with "give me a backronym for <WORD> that relates to <SUBJECT>".

So maybe it's bad backronyms that demonstrate the soul. I don't know who's idea it was to allow a computer to generate whimsy, that should be interdicted by a fourth law of robotics.

Agreed. Aggressively whimsical chatbots should be in the Geneva convention somewhere.

You agree that LLMs are good at making backronyms yet they still make you feel like a human was involved?
