The term "stochastic parrot" is often used in discussions about large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3 and others. It originated from a critique presented in a paper by researchers including Emily Bender, where they expressed concerns about the nature and impact of such models. The phrase captures the idea that these models generate text based on statistical patterns learned from vast amounts of data, rather than understanding the content in a human-like way.
