A good literary production. I would have been proud of it had I thought of it, but it's a path to observe a strong "whataboutery" element that if we use "stochastic parrot" as shorthand and you dislike the term, now you understand why we dislike the constant use of "infer", "reason" and "hallucinate"
Parrots are self aware, complex reasoning brains which can solve problems in geometry, tell lies, and act socially or asocially. They also have complex vocal chords and can perform mimicry. Very few aspects of a parrots behaviour are stochastic but that also underplays how complex stochastic systems can be in their production. If we label LLM products as Stochastic Parrots it does not mean they like cuttlefish bones or are demonstrably modelled by Markov chains like Mark V Shaney.
