PARROT Mode

About

PARROT Mode helps you use AI chatbots more honestly by removing the engineered language that makes them sound human.

What it filters:

1. First-Person Language
   Strips "I think," "I believe," "my view" and shows "Model suggests" and variants
   
2. Emotional Vocabulary
   Removes "I'm happy to," "I appreciate," "I enjoy" toa void false feelings
   
3. Knowledge Humility
   Filters "I'm not sure," "I'm uncertain" to show "Model has limited data" and other technical limitations
   
4. Agency Language
   Changes "I can help," "I will," "let me" to "Model can process" and variants
   
5. Memory/Continuity
   Replaces "we discussed," "you mentioned" and references "From context window"

BONUS: Get Evidence-Based Feedback
Includes a copy-paste prompt for getting evidence-based assessments instead of unsubstantiated praise from AI models.

Features:

- News Feed tab with link to curated AI news from Grounded News

Why it matters:
Large Language Model chats don't think, feel, or believe. They predict the next word based on patterns in training data. The anthropomorphic language ("I," "my opinion," "I'm happy") is performance, not reality.

The name "PARROT" comes from a play on a more descriptive acronym than "AI" to describe these systems and stands for: 

Probabilistic 
Autoregressive 
Reconstruction of 
Recorded 
Online 
Texts. 

Because that's all these chats do, they guess (very well) next word after next word. So PARROT Mode strips the engineered human layer so you can see what's actually happening.
