> Right, so you admit that it's an unknown process, which means you literally cannot conclude that it is different to what LLMs are doing.

If you truly feel human thinking and LLMs share more than a cocktail napkin's worth of similarity, I don't know what to say. Just treating it like a black box I can prove in minutes it's not thinking. Come on. I really don't get why people are so emotionally involved in this stuff.

It's not thinking. It's ok that it's not thinking. Maybe someday we'll get there, but it's not today.
