That is very interesting.
But - note - the label of "stochastic parrots" is not really relevant to the acquisition of notions and the appearance of some consistency checks, but more to the idea that the ideal system performs the checks regularly and deeply - especially in front of new ideas, of which the ones it outputs are especially relevant (they had been in just before, so a new part of the cognitive set, and you expect them rigorously examined). Whatever you utter, you have supposed to have thought about critically with some depth - structurally.
You acquire a notion, you criticize it, you produce new notions, you criticize them, you build on an epistemic corpus born on critical effort.
In fact, it is a gamechanger to see that "critical thinking" is possible with LLMs - but do not forget that we have seen many examples in months of that not actually happening.
