Anyone who has studied Monte Carlo methods and stochastic differential equations and their applications and stochastic algorithms never found “stochastic parrot” a pejorative. In a very real way determinism is a requirement for a small mind that can’t get comfortable or understand advanced probability theory and its application.



anyone who read the papers where the term was introduced knows it was clearly intended as a pejorative.

i’m not sure if you intended to call those upthread small-minded
