Humans sometimes don't remember things 100%. LLMs can produce certain text and be run deterministically.

I don't really understand this side of the debate other than as a gotcha tbh.

If LLM use atrophies your brain and skills that's bad. If it has a repulsive writing style that's bad.

I'm not sure what the debate about whether an AI is a statistical parrot unlike humans accomplishes. Is relying 100% on a bad human speechwriter somehow better?

It comes up frequently when discussing whether LLMs actually have intelligence or qualify as AI, especially in discussions on the path to achieving AGI.

The primary complaint seems to be that LLMs are held to a higher standard than humans, though I don't particularly buy that line of reasoning.
