It’s still being a stochastic parrot. Now it’s just parroting the human creativity and imagination so I’m still not impressed.

If all you’re going to do is parrot things like human consciousness or human ingenuity then I will never be impressed so long that it’s just parroting.

You must be confused. This research is about reinforcement learning, not about large language models.

It's parroting human reinforcement.

It actually has no human data as input and learns by itself in the environment, that's the point of the accomplishment! :)

That's what humans do right? So it's parroting us.
