Emily Bender clarifies the original meaning of 'stochastic parrots' from her 2021 paper, debunking common misconceptions about LLMs and critiquing the term 'artificial intelligence' for overselling technology.
Eryk Salvaggio argues that the widespread use of agentic AI systems deepens, rather than resolves, the risks of large language models. He contends that chaining models together compounds their underlying flaws, making errors harder to detect and leading to harmful real-world consequences such as 'slopware.'
A critical examination of how AI maximalists celebrate the obsolescence of human labor through next-token prediction, and the socioeconomic risks this attitude poses, particularly for vulnerable populations.
Emily M. Bender reflects on the term 'stochastic parrot' five years after her seminal paper, addressing common misconceptions about how large language models work and the implications of the metaphor.
