5. "Stochastic parrot" is an insult to parrots.

Parrots, ravens, etc. are experimenting with their social environment when they speak as humans do. Some actually acquire human language skills beyond mere mimicry.

People are not so good at understanding bird languages.

Once again, in this paper and in others, the language we are using to describe these computer systems is getting in the way of our understanding them.

The mind of a parrot is very similar to the mind of a human. We are shaped by the same evolutionary processes and we experience very similar realities. As humans we can even imagine ourselves flying like a bird, being like a bird, to further understand what birds might be thinking.

There's none of that in a computer system -- no mind, no training, no socialization, no imagination, no motivations, not even any language as humans, birds, and all sorts of animals experience it.

We don't yet know enough yet about the mechanisms of animal minds to duplicate them in electronics.

AI promoters are fooling themselves or else they are misrepresenting what AI actually is so they can sell it to a gullible audience.

When the magician on the stage claims he is reading your mind he is not reading your mind. It would be foolish to hire him as an actual mind reader.
