As to the Original question, the Maharal writes that a Golem can’t talk. The Gemara says that the one that Rava created didn’t talk.
A side note, the Maharal explains many Gemaros in a non-literal way. This Gemara was not one of them. The Gemara and Medrash speak in a language that has to be understood, but not that what they say is meant to be dismissed whenever it is not strict Halacha.
In our language we have the same thing. We often speak in metaphors, besides many cliches. If it is not easily discerned when you are speaking straightforward and when you are speaking metaphor then you are not a good speaker.
