    That relies on human brains that are trained. LLMs are not human brains. “Training” them is not the same thing as teaching humans about something.

    Circular reasoning. “LLMs are different from human brains because they are different”.

    Also, why did you felt compelled to add the adjective “human”? Don’t you consider that gorillas, dolphins, octopuses or dogs are intelligent, capable of learn new things?

    Human brains are way more complicated than just a bunch of weighed correlations.

    And that is the problem of your argument. You seem to believe that intelligence is all-or-nothing, that anything that hasn’t a human-level intelligence is not intelligent at all. Of course human brains are more complicated that current LLMs, nobody has ever disputed that. But concluding that they aren’t and will never be intelligent because they aren’t as complicated is a huge non-sequitur.

      > Circular reasoning. “LLMs are different from human brains because they are different”.

      LLMs are different than human brains because human brains are biological organs and LLMs are probability distributions over sequences of words. These are two completely different classes of entities. Like, I don’t know how much more different two things *can* even be.

      Are you claiming they are literally the same? Are you saying they are functionally the same? What *are* you claiming here, exactly?
