There's a sample of GPT-4 acting as a "Socratic tutor" teaching a student how to solve a high school math problem. If that sample is representative, it means GPT-4 has a theory of other people's minds. Or it is so good at emulating one that it doesn't matter?
I'm not sure where the "stochastic parrot" argument goes now.
I’m not sure I agree with the statement of this sample being about a theory of other people’s minds. Socratic teaching is a well documented method of teaching and learning via conversational probing among other simple quirks.
