The 'parrot' argument is overconfident and wrong. In fact, these models have capacity for abstract reasoning, but also have capacity for memorization and copying, and use a mixture of these strategies to produce high quality output. Here's an excellent demonstration of abstract modeling:

I always enjoy the typical "You're wrong [then inadvertently point out how we're both saying the same thing, with the only distinction being that one of us is attempting to simplify while the other is attempting to show off knowledge]."

I've learned from personal experience that starting a reply with "You're wrong" is an anti-pattern most of the time. Instead, framing additional context/knowledge constructively can enrich conversation rather than shutting it down (and making things unnecessarily combative).

But to your point: We're both saying the same thing, I'm just being reductive on purpose.
