They cannot be anything other than stochastic parrots because that is all the technology allows them to be. They are not intelligent, they don’t understand the question you ask or the answer they give you, they don’t know what truth is let alone how to determine it. They’re just good at producing answers that sound like a human might have written them. They’re a parlour trick. Hi-tech magic 8balls.

Are you referring to humans or AI? I’m not sure you’re wrong about humans…

Have you even read the article?
IMO it does not do a good job of disproving that “humans are stochastic parrots”.
The example with the octopus isn’t really about stochastic parrots. It’s more about how LLMs are not multi-modal.
That article is super helpful.
Thanks!
