this paper clearly says it is capable of original thought. It also "speaks" of it in high regard in other things.
Re-read it: it says AI is capable of "originality" and does not mention "thought" at all.
You're the one presuming that "originality" requires cognition and hence understood "originality" as meaning "original thought" even though they're different concepts (specifically the latter is a subset of the former).
In your interpretation of that paper you did the exact same logical mistake as you seem to be doing in your interpretation of LLMs - you made assumptions backed only by gut feeling thus taking a leap to reach a conclusion ultimately supported only by your gut feeling.
"electronic parrot" and outperforming almost all humans in creativity and originality is an extreme contrast to me, regardless of my misuse of terms. So I fail to understand what you want to say, since this contrast must be apparent to you too.
The original context of my comment was even more basic and to me proven by what the paper says: Those are not things it copied somewhere. Also, I still think there is no test to prove it can/can't think.
