>The stochastic parrots paper is heavily misrepresented I listened to a lengthy video on the "stochastic parrot" from the Alan Turing Institute yesterday after having made that comment, and it was mostly on the topics you mentioned, subtle and overt bias, etc. I kept waiting on them to explain the "it's not real" bit that I've seen implied by the phrase where I've seen it used ( or perhaps, simply read into it myself ), but it never really came in. At the very end, one commentator made a comment implying it's not really all there and the next responding didn't disagree outright, but you could see a kind of "well yes, but actually no" kind of expression go across their face as they talked around it.
