You say it has no understanding. So people can communicate idea's/concepts while chatgpt can't.

What if... what we think are idea's or concepts, are in fact prompts recited from memory, which were planted/trained during our growing up? In fact I'm pretty sure our consciousness stems from or is memory feeding a (bigger and more advanced) stochastic correlation machine.

That chatgpt can only do this with words, does not mean the same technique cannot be used for other data, such as neural sensors or actuators.

Chatgpt could be trained with alien datasets and act accordingly. Humans can be trained with alien datasets.

See the convergence?

I'm pretty sure LLMs can be used on anything considered a language, including things we as humans wouldn't consider language.

Sam Harris was recently talking about using an LLM processing wireless signals to identify where humans were standing in a room. I've not looked up the paper on this, but from everything I understand about this the generalized applican can apply to vast ranges of data.
