> We were maybe already stochastic parrots and are just building tools to be more efficient at it.

I think we can and should firmly reject this notion

If humans were mere stochastic parrots we would not have the ability to build the Internet we're talking on right now


Not sure about that, we are happy to assume that a stochastic process such as evolution culminated in advanced life forms but reluctant to admit that our own creations could be the outcome of a stochastic process on communication patterns.
