LLMs are no better than speaking to a clever parrot. It might say the correct words but has no understanding and so there is no value in teaching it beyond a petty parlour trick.
“Parrots only repeat” is a pretty archaic view in regards to animal psychology, though.
LLM’s are glorified chatbots but parrots can actually understand even. To what extent, that’s very much debatable.
Here’s a good set of videos from Nativlang on the subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmkQLDJdhJI&list=PLc4s09N3L2h2lYeVD6pmax3f7qiHxyq3k
I was absolutely being unfair to parrots to get my point across, I apologise to all our feathered friends.
Thank you.
