Every time I read "stochastic parrot," my always-deterministic human brain surfaces this quote:

> “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”

- Oscar Wilde, a great ape with a pen

Reading this quote makes me wonder why I should believe that I am somehow special or different, and not just another "other".

That's just it. We're not unique. We've always been animals running on instinct in reaction to our environment. Our instincts are more complex than other animals but they are not special and they are replicable.
