Seems like he's been pushed into using LLMs as a way to cope with the deluge of LLM-generated security reports.

I think "stochastic parrot" is a terrible way to describe LLMs. (Not to mention most people don't use the term "stochastic" a lot.)

"Slot machine autocomplete" might be a better choice.

    If you feel the need to dumb it down, 'statistical parrot' works OK. I'm happy with the original.
