Whenever any advance is made in AI, AI critics redefine AI so its not achieved yet according to their definition.

That stems from the fact that AI is an ill-defined term that has no actual meaning. Before Google maps became popular, any route finding algorithm utilizing A* was considered "AI".

And the second comment about LLMs being parrots arises from a misunderstanding of how LLMs work.

Bullshit. These people know exactly how LLMs work.

LLMs reproduce the form of language without any meaning being transmitted. That's called parroting.
