    ‘i am a stochastic parrot and so are u’

    reminds me of

    “In his desperation to have produced reality through computation, he denigrates actual reality by equating it to computation”

    (from this review/analysis of the devs series). A pattern annoying common among the LLM AI fans.

    E: Wow, I did not like the reactionary great man theory spin this article took there. Don’t think replacing the Altmans with Yarvins would be a big solution there. (At least that is how the NRx people would read this article). Quite a lot of the ‘we need more well read renaissance men’ people turned into hardcore trump supporters (and racists, and sexists and…). (Note this edit is after I already got 45 upvotes).
