We are discussing a system that is very interesting precisely and only because it produces human language that at least superficially looks as though it was produced by a reasonably smart and educated human. For one thing, I don't know how one would disabuse someone of their fantasy projected onto LLMs and a lack of understanding of humans without making comparisons (while, of course, being wary of anthropomorphizing the former.)

A wheelbarrow assisted human can haul 100x faster than a human assisted human.

There, I just compared humans and wheelbarrows in a meaningful way.

There's no problem doing the same with LLMs.
