They cannot be anything other than stochastic parrots because that is all the technology allows them to be.

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!
