Is my toddler a stochastic parrot? ➶

Beautiful illustrated story by Angie Wang about so-called artificial intelligence, in The New Yorker.

What we say is not weighted by probability alone but is given its heft and color by our wish to share our lives.

Mere mimicry is not enough. … You’re human, too. You understand love. With that in mind, surely you understand how even the most useless tiny people on this planet are more real than any probabilistic word predictor, and how you must be, too.
