> Clearly we're not stochastic parrots
On Internet comment sections, that's not clear to me. Memes are incredibly infectious, and we can see by looking at, say, a thread about Nvidia. It's inevitable that someone is going to ask about a moat. In a thread about LLMs, the likelihood of stoichastic parrots getting a mention approaches one, as the thread gets longer. what does it all mean?
You seem to be confusing brain design with uniqueness.
If every single human on earth was an identical clone with the same cultural upbringing and similar language conversation choices and opinions and feelings, they still wouldn't work like an LLM and still wouldn't be stochastic parots.
