This sounds very "bicameral mind"-y[1] to me, and it's worth noting that schizophrenia's causes haven't been pinned down accurately yet. There are a ton of hypotheses around how schizophrenia develops/works, but none are conclusive.
I bring it up because when you hear relatively simple explanations about the left and right brain and the tasks they're "assigned" or "designed" to process, or how their perceived differences contribute to mental illness, it should be taken with a grain of salt.
Similarly, I'd hesitate to compare LLMs or any NNs to actual human brains. Their similarities are entirely superficial, and beyond the very basic topology of NNs that were inspired by specific types of neurons, the similarities end there.
