Don't believe the PR bull. It is just a stochastic parrot.

Some people are surprised by real parrots too.

Give the same question to Google search and click the first result. It's cheaper!

I dunno, I don't think the models are fully capable yet, but they are still shockingly good, especially recently. A real parrot is worthy of some consideration, not zero, though some of that is attributable to the fact that it is alive.

The funny thing is if I go to google and click the first result, it shows me an AI preview anyway. No winning. ;) (Though I would prefer if the Earth was not cooked alive.)
