The human mind is likely a bullshit parrot as well. Those who are at the cutting edge of ideas can claim a bit of non-parrot-ness for a while but most of the time it's just parroting within a curated "elite" subgroup.

What makes a "human" different could be that we live in the physical world with environmental and social consistency. Each time we sleep the mind "dies" and is "reborn", like GPT-4 starting a new conversation with new context.

The physical environment and social interactions (and cues from long term and short term memory) make up the preamble for the day.

If the environment and interactions fall into easily compressible patterns, it can feel like the movie Groundhog Day, a constant loop. However changing relationships (breakup, dating) or changing environment (traveling, moving) changes the preamble where "I" feel like someone different. A harder reset vs the soft reset of sleep.
