Parlor trick is a perfect description.

People don't get that these things aren't anymore intelligent than their smartphones predicting the next word. The main difference is instead of a couple words it has thousands to choose from.

Half of the trick is how it uses the prompt to decided what words to start with.

That is not how it works. Your smartphone has all the dictionary available, same as LLM. It is simply something very different. People super confidently discussing about AI on lemmy are the real hallucinating parrots

There is an inverse relationship between the intelligence of a person and their amazement at what these large language models can produce.

I heard the same for people who downvote on lemmy when notified about being an exemplification of the dunning Kruger effect
