For fucks sake it's just an algorithm. It's not capable of becoming sentient.

If I call you a meat computer, or a stochastic parrot, or say "ape" enough times, the algorithm will by comparison seem closer to sentient. smuglord

    Do the silicon valley techbros actually call people "stochastic parrots"? If so, they completely missed the point of that paper.

    Yes, and they're not the only ones.

    I've gotten into arguments in this local posting universe where that term came up and was applied to the people in it. "Actually, humans are stochastic parrots and consciousness is an illusion, therefore LLMs are actually not far off at all from meeting and exceeding everything that you are" was the summary of that person's argument back then.
