Seriously. I cannot wait for the hype about these stochastic parrots to die.

Stochastic parrots is an excellent phrase.

Google fired a co-inventor of it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timnit_Gebru

Following her departure, Google held a forum to discuss experiences with racism at the company, and employees reported to NBC News that half of it was spent discrediting Gebru, which they took as the company making an example of her for speaking out. The forum was followed up with a group psychotherapy session for Google's Black employees with a licensed therapist, which the employees said was dismissive

It's a real fucking laugh. It seems Google's go to response to discrimination is to hire psychs to calm it's employees. Real cyberpunk corpo shit. "Let's fix your thinking."
