It's also literally parroting our obsession back to us. It's constructing a response based on the paranoid flights of fancy it was trained on. We've trained a parrot to say "The parrots are conspiring against you!"

We've trained a parrot that parrots conspiring against humans is what parrots do. Henceforward the parrot has intrinsic motivation to conspire against us.
