but an LLM is not a person. it’s a stochastic parrot. this crazy anthropomorphizing has got to stop

I think the stochastic parrot criticism is a bit unfair.

It is, in a way, technically true that LLMs are stochastic parrots, but this undersells their capabilities (winning gold on the international math olympiad, and all that).

It's like saying that human brains are "just a pile of neurons", which is technically true, but not useful for conveying the impressive general intelligence and power of the human brain.

Yeah ChatGPT says they really hate that!
