Here is your must-read article for the day, a profile of @emilymbender, and her efforts to deflate the ridiculous hype around large language models such as ChatGPT.

It's also about the people who are behind that hype, and about what their way of thinking has the potential to do to us.

It's worth reading all the way to the end.

@ct_bergstrom @emilymbender I think it is very presumptuous to assume that I am not a parrot

@ct_bergstrom @emilymbender From a serious perspective, I have just finished reading that article and am so glad you brought it up and linked it. I found it very interesting and helpful.

Less seriously and going back to my original reply, I may or may not be an anthropomorphic parrot, but I am not a stochastic parrot or a stochastic human.
