That name aged like milk. First of all, what you said. And second - a parrot can make more parrots without human help, language models can't make GPU chips. Insulting for both LLMs and parrots.

Language models exist not in the physical world but digital. A more apt comparison would be if LLMs can compile new (or slightly modified) LLMs, and I believe the answer will soon be (if not already), a resounding yes.

I agree, LLMs can generate the source code for their network, can generate the training data, supervise a model being trained and explain step by step what they do. That's why I specifically said they can't make GPUs, if they could, they would be self replicators. We'd have to consider them alive.

> language models can't make GPU chips

Not yet. I'm sure somebody is taking a hard look already.
