I'm sure both of you know this, but "stochastic parrot" refers to the title of a research article that contained a particular argument about LLM limitations that had very little to do with parrots.

But it's far easier for human parrots to parrot the soundbyte "stochastic parrot" as a thought-terminating cliche.
