Well parrots can make more parrots, LLMs can't make their own GPUs. So parrots win, but LLMs can interpolate and even extrapolate a little, have you ever heard a parrot do translation, hearing you say something in English and translating it to Spanish? Yes, LLMs are not parrots. Besides their debatable abilities, they work with human in the loop, which means humans push them outside their original distribution. That's not a parroting act, being able to do more than pattern matching and reproduction.
