PARROT Mode

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: - Works on Claude.ai and ChatGPT - Toggle individual dimensions on/off - Track replacement counts (session and all-time) - See breakdown by dimension - News Feed tab with link to curated AI news from Grounded News - All processing happens locally in your browser 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.
