> … stochastic parrots… What a wonderful phrase, mind if I borrow it?


Never mind the phrase. If your parrot can compete in international math and programming competitions at the gold-medal level and make entire subreddits fail the Turing test, I would like to borrow your parrot.


It's commonly used at this point, for what it's worth


"the term stochastic parrot is a metaphor, introduced by Emily M. Bender and colleagues in a 2021 paper, that frames large language models as systems that statistically mimic text without real understanding"
