This post riffs on the old “LLMs are just stochastic parrots” argument, with a sarcastic caption implying that dismissing them as incapable of creating new knowledge is a boomer take.
The follow-up quote frames the usual “LLMs are not creative” criticism as something being mocked rather than seriously debated. It’s essentially an AI culture-war meme about creativity, originality, and whether models can produce genuinely new ideas.
