It is accurate to call it a parrot in the context of it basically being used as ambiguated plagiarism machines to avoid paying workers.

Yes it is capable of that. Yes that word means something else in the actual field. But you need to understand people are talking about this technology as it’s political relationships with power, and pretending prioritizing that form of analysis well thats just people being uninformed about the REAL side is yourself missing the point.

And these big companies aren’t calling it AI because it’s an accurate descriptor. It could also be called a generative language model.

A generative language model is a kind of artificial intelligence. Similar to how a parrot is a kind of bird. They are calling it artificial intelligence because it is artificial intelligence, you're the one who's insisting on redefining a word that has been in use this way for many decades.

ambiguated plagiarism machines

That's not how they work. Maybe learn a bit more about the field before telling the people working in it how to name things.
