You are not a Parrot, and other AI stories

You are not a Parrot, and a chatbot is not a human, is a very interesting in the sense of accounting for the words one says. AI doesn't have that because the words for an LLM mean nothing. They have no referents that will ground them and thus enforce some kind of moral behaviour.

Stripping the web of its humanity is another opinion on how humans are mistreated by AI tools based on LLMs. AI products are spitting out LLM generated content from user prompts as factual, where most of the time it is not. In some situations this might be funny, but often it is not. The lack of attribution (or its demoting to a footer) makes LLMs a potential case of plagiarism, and a bad one at points.
