To go deeper: some animals act curiously, others with fear, but only a few of them understand what the mirror does and use it to inspect themselves.

    I indeed have not read the link you shared. However, I am not discrediting your comment or source. I apologize if it came across with a hostile tone. On the contrary, thanks for commenting on my post with an interesting article.

    My intent is not “parroting” AI-bad. The original post and my follow up comments are the result of… well, a shower. (I am a CS researcher myself, and I have been studying AI fundamentals for the last month)

    My point is that the behavior you mention may as well be also part of the “reflexion” of the human behavior. After all, it is just text, attention, feedforward, and repeat on human text. We tend to create “conventions” when we talk: OP, TL;DR, IMHO, ELI5… are some examples of little agreements we take to compress information. We, indirectly reward that behavior. It makes sense that a program that detects and replicates human behavior will also pick that up.

    In any case. Thanks for the comment, cheers!
