I think better analogy is parrot speaking English. Certainly no ventriloquism there.

- visarga 5y agoThis metaphor doesn't do justice to parrots or language models. Parrots only speak a phrase or two. LMs can write full essays. On the other hand parrots can act in the environment, LMs are isolated from the world and society. So a parrot has a chance to test its ideas out, but LMs don't.
