Maybe get yourself checked for chatbot psychosis. I am using current models productively, every day, and have 0 (and I mean precisely, literally 0) issue with calling it a stochastic parrot, one which lacks any kind of mentality whatsoever. There is not a shred of doubt in my mind that this is purely a statistical model, generating sequences of words, that happen to make sense in our actual mentality.
The “something complex” is critical here - I mean specifically an implementation that requires an advanced and reasoned mental model to write. How does it oneshot those and pass comprehensive tests if it isn’t doing advanced reasoning?
